Companion to Celestina

Enrique Fernandez, Professor of Spanish at the University of Manitoba, co-edited Celestina comentada, and edited the 17th century Neo-Latin translation of Celestina, the Pornoboscodidascalus Latinus. He is the director of the on line database Celestina Visual www.celestinavisual.org.

“the book achieves its objective of offering a comprehensive companion to one of Europe's premodern masterpieces and will be of particular value to nonspecialist anglophone readers.” - Rachel Scott, King's College London, in: Renaissance Quarterly 72:1 (spring 2019), pp. 375-376“The companion deserves a place of honor in courses related to Celestina […]. It will make an important addition to the library of any medievalist and early modernist, and should be in every institutional library.” - Sol Miguel-Prendes, Wake Forest University, in: Sixteenth Century Journal 49:4 (Winter 2018), pp. 1182-1184
