- ‘Interpreting La Celestina', 63.
- All page references in the present study are, unless otherwise stated, taken from the edition of Dorothy S. Severin (Madrid: Alianza, 1969). References to individual numbered scenes (cenas) within each act—a division not shown in Rojas' time—follow the numeration proposed by Miguel Marciales, Celestina: Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, Illinois Medieval Monographs, I, vol. II, Edición crítica (Urbana: Univ. of Illinois Press, 1985).
- For information regarding textual variants see Marciales, vol. II.
- Kathleen V. Kish, An Edition of the First Italian Translation of the ‘Celestina’, UNCSRLL, CXXVIII (Chapel Hill: Univ. of North Carolina Press, 1973), 93. This location for the mansion is, of course, confirmed by Pleberio himself in Act XX: ‘Vamos a ver los frescos aires de la ribera’ (227).

- For Amatus' biography, including his career as a student at Salamanca, see Diogo Barbosa Machado, Bibliotheca Lusitana, I (Lisbon, 1741; repr. Coimbra: Atlântida, 1965), 128–30, and, more reliably, Vicente Beltrán de Heredia, Cartulario de la Universidad de Salamanca, II (Salamanca: Universidad de Salamanca), 170, 258, 264–65.
- Note that the Latinist Amatus Lusitanus must be added to the number of early sixteenth-century readers who did not take seriously Rojas' application to the work of the term tragicomedia and continued to describe it as a comedia.
