Collection of handwritten works of Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) is best known to us today for his novel Don Quixote from 1605, which became a classic of world literature. In the fascinating Collection of handwritten works of Miguel de Cervantes, which comprises twelve autographs by the writer from the time between 1582 and 1604, Cervantes' creative power and personality become tangible. Not only his signature, but also his handwriting and his personal writing style can be scrutinized, especially in the letter documents. The twelve documents are some of the few surviving, direct testimonies to the life of the great artist and thus offer a rare insight into the biography and character of the author of Don Quixote.
