Abstract

The article discusses the validity of the texts that make the Second part of the comedies of Calderón de la Barca on the basis of previous works by the Grupo Calderón de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela (GIC) that focused on one particular text each. A thorough analysis of texts such as El mayor encanto, amor, El médico de su honra or El mayor monstruo leads to state that, in general, the texts of the Second part should be used as basis texts for the edition of calderonian comedies, even though there is, in fact, a disequilibrium between the number of mistakes the texts of the comedies have.
