EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the beginning of the first act of "Los locos por el cielo" (The Mad Ones for the Sky), a classic comedy by the renowned Spanish playwright Lope de Vega. The image, edited in Barcelona, is taken from a rare and beautifully preserved 1617 edition of the play, housed in the prestigious Barcelona University Library. The photograph, taken in a vertical orientation, captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of the original text. The page is adorned with ornate, decorative initials, intricately designed borders, and elegant typography, all characteristic of the early modern Spanish printing press. The title of the play, "LOS LOCOS POR EL CIELO," is prominently displayed at the top of the page, with the subtitle, "Comedia," written below. The comedy, written by Lope de Vega in 1612, is a masterpiece of the Spanish Golden Age of literature. "Los locos por el cielo" is a farcical and satirical work that explores themes of love, madness, and the supernatural. The play follows the misadventures of two couples, each of whom believe they have been driven mad by the moon and the stars, and their attempts to win back their loved ones. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Lope de Vega and the rich literary heritage of Spain. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of early modern Spanish theater and the intricacies of the printing process during this period. The Barcelona University Library's preservation of this precious artifact ensures that future generations can continue to study and appreciate the works of Lope de Vega and the cultural history of Spain.
