First edition. Boisrobert (1589-1662) was one of the five authors that Richelieu undertook to work under his direction: Boisrobert, Colletet, Corneille, L'Estoile and Rotrou. He was the founder of the Académie française, which he joined in 1634. He took part in the Cid quarrel and wrote around fifteen plays with romantic plots. The action takes place in Toledo and begins with a confusion caused by the homonymy of the two lovers. Ex-libris L. Laurent Pichat.
