The Bowle-Evans Collection in the University of Cape Town Library (Rondebosch, 1958) (mimeographed). I am indebted to R. Merritt Cox for a copy.
Author of the Noticia de la verdadera patria (Alcalá) de él [sic] Miguel de Cervantes, first published in Barcelona in 1898, and numerous other scholarly works which were not published in his lifetime and in some cases are still unpublished. This Noticia includes the «Disertación sobre el Amadís de Gaula» discussed by Barton Sholod, «Fray Martín Sarmiento, Amadís de Gaula and the Spanish Chivalric "Genre"», in Studies in Honor of Mario A. Pei, University of North Carolina Studies in Romance Languages and Literatures, 114 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1972), pp. 183-99.
The only exception to this would be the Cervantine scholarship of Bodmer in Germany. On it, and Bodmer's role in initiating modern interest in medieval German literature, see the Appendix to my A Study of «Don Quixote» (Newark, Delaware: Juan de la Cuesta, 1987). On Lord Carteret's edition, a study of which is a desideratum, see the edition of Mayáns' Vida by Antonio Mestre, Clásicos Castellanos, 172 (Madrid: Espasa-Calpe, 1972); a review essay by Francisco Brines was published in Cuadernos Hispanoamericanos, No. 297 (March, 1975), 582-98.
Published in the author's Ensayo de una Biblioteca de traductores españoles (Madrid, 1778).

Percy's «Quixotic Library» is reconstructed and annotated by Beutler, pp. 367-400. The books in Don Quixote's library cannot be assembled by purchase, as some of them are too rare. (Another partial attempt was made in the nineteenth century by the Marqués de Salamanca; see Isidro Bonsoms y Sicart, Discursos leídos en la Real Academia de Buenas Letras de Barcelona en la recepción pública de D. Isidro Bonsoms y Sicart [Barcelona, 1907], and Homero Serís, «La reaparición del Tirant lo Blanch de Barcelona de 1497», in Homenaje a Menéndez Pidal [Madrid: Hernando, 1925], III, 57-76.) I have proposed, in «Did Cervantes Have a Library?», Hispanic Studies in Honor of Alan D. Deyermond. A North American Tribute (Madison: Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies, 1986), pp. 93-106, that Don Quixote's library is to be identified with that of Cervantes, and have offered a hypothetical reconstruction of the latter, with the suggestion that it be recreated on microfilm or some similar medium, in «La biblioteca de Cervantes», Studia in Honorem Prof. M. de Riquer, II (Barcelona: Quaderns Crema, in press). [Appeared in 1987 on pp. 271-328. A book based on it is in preparation; a preliminary version may be read on my Web site, http://bigfoot.com/~daniel.eisenberg (January 25, 2003).]
