Last chance! The exhibition “Al hilo de Celestina. Tipo, mito, mujer” closes

Due to unexpected schedule modifications, the exhibition “Al hilo de Celestina. Tipo, mito, mujer” will be closing sooner as announced: instead of on the 31st of December 2024, it will finish on the 17th of December, two weeks in advance. This means that today and tomorrow are the last days the exhibition will be open to the public.
La Celestina, un musical joven: Interview

Last week, the 3rd of December 2024, Amaranta Saguar García had the chance to interview the people behind the latest musical adaptation of the Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, La Celestina. Un musical joven. In a conversation that lasted almost one hour, they talked about how the idea of adapting Celestina to the musical genre was born, how the creative process was and, above all, why Celestina, and not another work.
You can see the full interview –of which an abridged version will appear in the next issue of Celestinesca– in the following video:
Merry celestinesque Christmas and a happy new year 2024!
For sale: Italian translation of Celestina (Venice, Pietro de Nicolini da Sabio, 1535)

Just a quick note for any followers of this blog who have 15.000 €: the antiquarian bookshop Margarita de Dios is selling a complete copy of the edition Venice: Pietro de Nicolini da Sabio, 1535, bound in parchment. More information and photos at the official website. By the way, they also offer one copy of the Venice, 1553 edition in Spanish for 18.000 €(see here).
Although this is one of the editions with the most surviving copies, it is surprising that this is the second copy that enters the market this year, as another copy of this edition was auctioned by El Remate in February (more information here). And the same applies to the 1553 one. Are they the same? I think so, because of certain stains that can be seen in the photos which look similar. In that case, considering that both copies started in 5.000 €, I am curious about the final prices. They must have been really high for Margarita de Dios to triple that amount, don’t they? In any case, I am not who is going to buy them.
