Summary

Lists of Calderon's plays can be found amongst the digital resources that have been and are being created to support study of his life and works, notably, for his fulllength comedias, Fausta Antonucci's Calderón Digital (http://calderondigital.unibo. it). This resource provides reliable and useful information about the plays listed to date. For the autos sacramentales, the GRISO team at the Universidad de Navarra have been publishing the eighty or so extant texts since the early 1990s, along with useful complementary volumes that elucidate the Corpus Christi drama (https://www.unav.edu/web/griso/proyectos/autos-sacramentales-completos-de-calderon-de-la-barca). Isabel Hernando Morata, of the GIC team at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, provides a focal point for digital resources on her site, Calderón en red (https://calderonenred.wordpress.com/author/calderonenred/). This site is very useful for discovering where Calderon's plays – comedias and autos – were first published and for expediting access to early manuscripts and editions that are available for consultation on other sites. In print, the most up-to-date general bibliography of the comedias is Cruickshank's entry for Calderon in Pablo Jauralde Pou, Delia Gavela and Pedro C. Rojo Alique (eds), Diccionario filológico de la literatura española (siglo XVII), 2 vols (Madrid: Castalia, 2010), I, pp. 172–232.

The plays that are extant were mainly published in a series of partes, twelve plays to a volume, as Garcia-Reidy explains in Chapter 3, this volume. See also Cruickshank, Chapter 1 (this volume) and his full listing of the Calderon partes, as well as the ‘Diferentes’ and ‘Escogidas’ partes that contain plays by Calderon and his elucidation of their complex publishing history, in the above-cited Diccionario (pp. 172–6).

Here we include a list of the works written by Calderon that are mentioned in this Companion. This comprises comedias, autos and other dramatic or occasional writings but it is not a complete list of his works. (Contributors have mentioned nearly 100 comedias of the 140 or so that we know of – including lost plays and those written in collaboration – while fewer than half of the extant autos are listed.)
