How many of Lope de Vega’s plays have survived?

Lope de Vega was an exceptionally prolific dramatist of the Spanish Golden Age. While historical reports and early biographies often attributed as many as 1,800 plays to him, the number of his works that have survived is significantly lower.

According to scholarly records, the titles of 723 of his plays are known, but the full texts of only 426 have survived. Additionally, while he is credited with writing hundreds of autos sacramentales (short allegorical plays), the texts of 42 of these works are extant.12
