Despite the importance of the Comedias escogidas collection (1652-1681/ 1704) as a means of dissemination of plays for the theatre in the second half of the seventeenth century, this work has not been studied in depth from a point of view that takes into consideration issues related to authorship, and which does not only approach it from a bibliographical perspective. This paper studies Calderón de la Barca's authorship with a double approach: on the one hand, we intend to elucidate his involvement in the bureaucratic process of the book collection; on the other hand, we provide a quantitative analysis not only of his comedias but also of works mistakenly attributed to him. The paper also provides new bibliographical data.

Abstract
Despite the importance of the Comedias escogidas collection (1652-1681/ 1704) as a means of dissemination of plays for the theatre in the second half of the seventeenth century, this work has not been studied in depth from a point of view that takes into consideration issues related to authorship, and which does not only approach it from a bibliographical perspective. This paper studies Calderón de la Barca's authorship with a double approach: on the one hand, we intend to elucidate his involvement in the bureaucratic process of the book collection; on the other hand, we provide a quantitative analysis not only of his comedias but also of works mistakenly attributed to him. The paper also provides new bibliographical data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
