ssss1 Sr. Asensio y Toledo has suggested (Cervantes y sus obras, pp. 382-386) that Cervantes's reference in Don Quixote to Bernardo González de Bobadilla's Nimphas y Pastores de Henares, a pastoral published at Alcalá in 1587, denotes some irritation against one whom he possibly regarded as a poacher. What really happened was that, during the diverting and important scrutiny of the Knight's library, the Barber came upon González de Bobadilla's book, together with Bernardo de la Vega's Pastor de Iberia and Bartolomé López de Enciso's Desengaño de los celos. The Priest directed the Barber to "hand them over to the secular arm of the housekeeper, and ask me not why, or we shall never have done." On the strength of this, some genial contemporaries seem to have charged Cervantes with being jealous of these obscure writers. Cp. the passage in the Viaje del Parnaso:—

Ni llamado, ni escogido

Fué el gran pastor de Iberia, el gran BERNARDO

Que DE LA VEGA tiene el apellido.
