DEDICATION
OF PART I
Previous (Author's Preface)
Don Quixote
Next (Chapter I)
To The
Duke
Of
Bejar
,
Marquis
Of
Gibraleon
,
Count
Of
Benalcazar
And
Banares
,
Vicecount
Of
The Puebla De Alcocer
,
Master
Of The
Town
s
Of
Capilla
,
Curiel
And
Burguillos
In belief of the
good
reception
and honours that Your Excellency bestows on all sort of
books
, as prince so inclined to favor good arts, chiefly those who by their nobleness do not submit to the service and bribery of the vulgar, I have
determined
bringing to light The
Ingenious Gentleman
Don Quixote
of
la Mancha
, in shelter of Your Excellency's glamorous name, to whom, with the obeisance I owe to such grandeur, I pray to receive it
agreeably
under his protection, so that in this shadow, though deprived of that
precious
ornament
of elegance and erudition that clothe the works composed in the houses of those who know, it dares
appear
with assurance in the
judgment
of some who, trespassing the bounds of their own
ignorance
, use to condemn with more
rigour
and less
justice
the writings of others. It is my
earnest
hope that
Your Excellency
's
good counsel
in regard to my
honourable
purpose, will not disdain the littleness of so humble a
service
.

En fe del buen acogimiento y honra que hace Vuestra Excelencia a toda suerte de libros, como príncipe tan inclinado a favorecer las buenas artes, mayormente las que por su nobleza no se abaten al servicio y granjerías del vulgo, he determinado de sacar a luz al Ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, al abrigo del clarísimo nombre de Vuestra Excelencia, a quien, con el acatamiento que debo a tanta grandeza, suplico le reciba agradablemente en su protección, para que a su sombra, aunque desnudo de aquel precioso ornamento de elegancia y erudición de que suelen andar vestidas las obras que se componen en las casas de los hombres que saben, ose parecer seguramente en el juicio de algunos que, continiéndose en los límites de su ignorancia, suelen condenar con más rigor y menos justicia los trabajos ajenos; que, poniendo los ojos la prudencia de Vuestra Excelencia en mi buen deseo, fío que no desdeñará la cortedad de tan humilde servicio.
