Abstract

In this paper the author presents several documents of interest all of them preserved in the Municipal Archive of Toledo: an unknown, and previously unpublished, memoria de apariencias of the Calderonian Eucharistic play La humildad coronada -performed in Toledo in 1644-, as well as the memorias of two Eucharistic plays by Rojas Zorrilla -both of them performed one year later on Toledo's Corpus stage-, and some other documents related to the plays. The memorias are a set of instructions concerning the arrangement of the stage for the theatrical performance. Such memorias are documents provided by the author, generally with his own hand, to the people in charge of the building of the stage. The value of such memorias is unquestionable: thanks to them it is possible to obtain a clarer idea of the arrangement of the stage up on which the plays were performed, the help to solve problems of dating or attribution, and are useful to verify the possible adjustments, made by the author, derived form the suggestion of the crew in charge of mounting the production.
