Other scholarly editions of Don
Quixote began to appear with regularity, questioning the authority
of the Spanish Royal Academy. Individual editors vied with each other to
produce the most "scholarly" apparatus with the most
"scientific" notes. Don Juan Antonio Pellicer's five-volume
edition appeared in 1797-1798. As librarian to the king and member of the
Royal Academy of History, Pellicer produced what he called a "new
edition, newly corrected, with new notes, new engravings, new analysis,
and with the life of the author newly added."
