«El Patrañuelo» is the collection of twenty-two tales by Juan de Timoneda, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (223 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together twenty-two patrañas, short tales that Timoneda reworked to acclimatise short narrative of Italian origin to Renaissance Castilian. With popular and plain language, these narratives are considered a precursor to Cervantine fiction and show an interest in the concrete individual, within the tradition of the apologue and the fable.
Volume 101 of the Clásicos Castellanos collection, with edition, prologue and notes by Federico Ruiz Mocuende. Work originally published in 1567; this edition, in 1973.
For readers and students of Spanish literature interested in Renaissance narrative and the origins of the short story.
