This M.A. thesis offers for the first time a critical edition of Calderon's auto sacramental El indulto general. The thesis consists of: (A) an Introductory study, composed of the following sections: (1) general survey of the dramatic genre known as the auto sacramental or sacramental play, mystery plays in honour of the Holy Eucharist; (2) date of composition and performances of El indulto general; (3) critical analysis of the auto, with special emphasis on its allegorical nature; (4) a study of the textual transmission of the auto, using the calculus of variants to construct a bibliographical stemma in order to establish the best available copy-text; (5) editorial criteria used to reconstruct an eclectic edition of the auto based on the nine independently-derived extant witnesses. (B) The edited text of the auto; (C) Critical apparatus. The thesis also contains a Bibliography and an Index of words commented in the Philological Notes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
