Title
Engraving from Valencia (1518) depicting "El autor disculpándose" y "Concluye el autor" (The author apologizes; The author concludes)
Creator
Juan Jofré and anonymous ilustrator
Date
1518
Description
This image depicts the author, supposedly Rojas, dressed as a university student. Plants in the background. This image is often labeled as "the author as a young man" to distinguish it from the image of the author in the Valencia (1529) edition by Viñao, that uses different images in the equivalent locations. The two different images can be seen side to side on page XVIII, Vol, 1 of Edición crítica de La Celestina, by Miguel Marciales (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1985).
The second image is from Libro segundo de Morgante, Valencia, Nicolás Durán de Salvanyach, 1535. It is clearly the same image, used here as factotum and the quality is clearly inferior
