Quick Summary

Cigarrales de Toledo is a work by Tirso de Molina, a prominent Spanish Golden Age dramatist. Published in 1621, it is a collection of verses, tales, plays, and critical observations. The work is framed as a series of summer recreations for a group of friends, drawing inspiration from Italian literary traditions.1

Tirso de Molina, born in 1584, was also a theologian and historian for the Mercedarian Order. He was influenced by Lope de Vega and contributed significantly to the Spanish comedia. While Cigarrales de Toledo is one of his notable works, he is perhaps most famous for introducing the character of Don Juan in his tragedy El burlador de Sevilla.1
