Thirty-six years later, Pellicer's impressive version was superseded by Don Diego Clemencin's six-volume edition --still consulted by Cervantes scholars-- which more than tripled the number of scholarly notes. Its serious pretensions are evident in the fact that it claims to correct Cervantes' language and includes no engravings. The space customarily reserved for the engravings that depicted Don Quixote's adventures is instead replaced with historical explanations, parallel literary texts, contemporary lore, lexicographical analyses and scholarly commentary.
