Sumario:The examines the textual transmission of Lope de Vega's Sonnet 191 of his poem "Rimas." Studying textual transmission involves understanding how a text is conceived, revised, printed, reprinted, diffused, read, appreciated, and transformed in the process.

The enfolded sonnet reveals the very indefinite nature of the text, allowing readers themselves to unfold distinct versions and interrogate their meanings.
