Commentary

Fragment of a song, although the full text is copied into the manuscript above the tablature on the same page. Corona-Alcalde indicates that “a close textual concordance exists for the estribillo of “Falsa me es la espiga” from the play “El baile de los locos de Toledo” published in 1616, with a stage-direction showing that it should be sung and danced." See also Emilio Cotarelo y Mori, Colección de entremeses, loas, bailes… (cotarelo1911, II, 48[0]).
Corona: "Espiga de zuela" debe leerse como "espigaderuela".” [e-mail al Vihue-lista, 29 Sept 2001]
