DEDICATION OF PART I
TO THE DUKE OF BEJAR; MARQUIS OF GIBRALEON; COUNT OF BENALCAZAR
AND BANARES; VICECOUNT OF THE PUEBLA DE ALCOCER; MASTER OF THE TOWNS
OF CAPILLA; CURIEL AND BURGUILLOS
IN belief of the good reception and honours that Your Excellency
bestows on all sort of books; as prince so inclined to favor good
arts; chiefly those who by their nobleness do not submit to the
service and bribery of the vulgar; I have determined bringing to light
The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of la Mancha; in shelter of Your
Excellency's glamorous name; to whom; with the obeisance I owe to such
grandeur; I pray to receive it agreeably under his protection; so that
in this shadow; though deprived of that precious ornament of
elegance and erudition that clothe the works composed in the houses of
those who know; it dares appear with assurance in the judgment of some
who; trespassing the bounds of their own ignorance; use to condemn
with more rigour and less justice the writings of others。 It is my
earnest hope that Your Excellency's good counsel in regard to my
honourable purpose; will not disdain the littleness of so humble a
service。
Miguel de Cervantes
