Abstract

Though Cervantes’ figure is largely unknown in the field of sport and physical activity, the author’s wandering through the Spanish and Italian life of his times has left us plenty of signs of his sports interests as well as the description of many characters -be it with real or false names- the acted as sportsmen and women in the sense we give today to such word.

His comments and remarks portray an interesting picture of sport at the time, of which we are now giving a brief sample in this first appearance of the autor in our Materiales.
