La poesía de Miguel Botelho de Carvalho. Estudio y edición de la "Fábula de Píramo y Tisbe" (1621) y "Rimas varias" (1646)

This doctoral thesis entitled “Miguel Botelho de Calvalho‟s Poetry. Study and edition of Fábula de Píramo y Tisbe (1621) and Rimas Varias (1646)” is born to approach Miguel Botelho de Carvalho‟s (1595-?) life and works.
