Excerpt from Obras de Lope de Vega, Vol. 5: Comedias de Vidas de Santos y Leyendas Piadosas (Conclusión), Comedias PastorilesCon ser tan famoso el Santo y tan insigne su Orden en nuestra historia eclesiástica, reina no poca obscuridad sobre los orígenes de este piadoso instituto. Zurita, con su habitual parsimonia y severidad de juicio, reduce a muy pocas líneas lo que puede tenerse por averiguado y exento de toda controversia (lib. 11, cap. VII de sus Anales).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
