This book is a work of fiction from the 16th century, offered here as a textbook because of its obvious use as a language aid. The book was originally written in Spanish. Each page of this website has one side en Espanol and the other in English. This is commonly done in print, but this is the first time we’ve seen it on a website.

Nice touches include the presentation itself, although it requires some scrolling, as well as available PDF dowloads of each chapter and hypelinked footnotes. Not only is the original author unknown, but the originator of the website is also anonymous, although there is a contact email.
