  Buena edición y mejor precio. Solamente espero que arreglen algunas notas al pie que no permiten consulta. Por lo demás, magnífica.

  As a kindle product I give this item 4 stars. I really hate it when no page numbers are given. Is it really that difficult to include them? Otherwise, from all the kindle editions of this book up to now (october 2012), this is the only scholarly or somewhat scholarly edition. The other items offer the bare text with perhaps a one page introduction. Another positive feature of this item is the glossary of terms which one can go to as links from the words themselves, making it a very suitable text for college students and non specialists in general.The text itself deserves four stars and not five because, although it is one of the great medieval spanish texts, at least from the point of view of our modern literary sensibilities, it is inferior in comparison to its 14th c. contemporaries Chaucer and Boccaccio. Don Juan Manuel is always too serious and dogmatic. Nonetheless, it is a very interesting book, full of useful examples one can draw from in order to make decisions event today, so that in terms of practical knowledge it far surpasses, I suppose, its literary contemporaries elsewhere.This particular edition by Maria Jesús Zamora is odd. I would give it 2 stars, if not one, just because there are better editions out there and she doesn't justify the purpose of adding one edition of the book to the almost 30 editions, old and new, out there. Her introduction is simple and useful, but I had just finished reading Sotelo's Catedra edition when I started this one in kindle, to find that she offers almost the same information and organizes it in a very likely manner as Sotelo. As a matter of fact, I compared some of the paragraphs and she manages to use precisely the same wording for many of the ideas expressed. She does cite Sotelo in her work but only once and in a somewhat slightly maner. The language of the text is not wholly modernized, so that one can read it without loosing some of that medieval flavor or nostalgia. Definitions of difficult words is a plus, however, no scholarly notes or very few.
