Cigarrales de Toledo

Last updated

Cigarrales de Toledo (English:Weekend Retreats of Toledo) is a 1624 work by Tirso de Molina. The book is a collection of verse, stories, drama, and criticism arranged in the aesthetically pleasing Italian style of the time. The encircling premise of the book is that all its contents can be used for recreation and merriment on summer holidays. [1] A group of friends ostensibly gather in a "cigarrale," or Tagus summer cottage, and spin the tales and verses for their entertainment. The three comedies contained amidst the other inclusions are: "The Shameful Man in the Palace," "How Friends Must Be," and "The Jealous Prudent." [2]

Don Juan Tenorio: Drama religioso-fantástico en dos partes is a play written in 1844 by José Zorrilla. It is the more romantic of the two principal Spanish-language literary interpretations of the legend of Don Juan. The other is the 1630 El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra, which is attributed to Tirso de Molina. Don Juan Tenorio owes a great deal to this earlier version, as recognized by Zorrilla himself in 1880 in his Recuerdos del tiempo viejo, although the author confuses de Molina with another writer of the same era, Agustín Moreto.

Molina is a Spanish occupational surname. Molina is Latin for 'mill' and is derived from another Latin word, mola ('millstone'). The surname originated from the early Middle Ages, referring to a person who operates a mill or a millstone. Other Spanish surnames, like Molinero, have also originated in the work and management of a mill. Spanish municipalities like Molina de Segura (Murcia) or Molina de Aragón still nowadays include millstones or mill blades in their respective coats of arms.
