'To M. O. W. With buen amor
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS IN AN attempt to carry out Juan Ruiz's design to delight his listeners with the beauty of his text, I have dispensed with the distracting encumbrances of variants and notes to the text, and accordingly with footnotes in the Introduction. This has, however, the disadvantage of preventing me from acknowledging, with specific reference, the indispensable guidance and instruction that I have received from my predecessors in the field of Ruizian studies. I therefore take this opportunity to acknowledge my indebtedness and to express my gratitude to them all, from anonymous medi eval readers, who left precious marginalia, to the scholars of today. I wish in particular to thank my friends, my colleagues, and my students, who have generously given me their counsel. Their names are too numerous to mention, but they will always remain in my memory.
