A. THOMAS'S " Francesco da Barberino et la litterature 

 provenc.ale en Italic au moyen age" (1883); P. SABA- 

 TIER'S "Saint Francois d'Assise" (1894); H. HAUVETTE'S 

 "Luigi Alamanni" (1903), "Dante" (1911), and 

 "Boccace" (1914); A. JEANROY'S "Carducci" (1911); 

 and P. HAZARD'S "Leopardi" (1913). An excellent 

 summary is HAUVETTE'S "Litterature italienne" (1906). 

 The publication of investigations is facilitated by the 

 "Bulletin italien," started in 1901. 



Spain, after having been revealed to France, in the first 

 half of the century, by such men of letters as Prosper 

 MERIMEE, Emile DESCHAMPS, and Theophile GAUTIER, 

 by translators like DAMAS-HINARD, and by scholars of 

 the standing of L. VIARDOT, F. DENIS, and P. CHASLES, 

 was assiduously cultivated under the Second Empire by 

 A. de LATOUR, T. de PUYMAIGRE, E. LAFOND ("Lope de 

 Vega"), E. CHASLES ("Cervantes"), P. ROUSSELOT ("Les 

 Mystiques"). In our time the most distinguished 

 names are those of A. MOREL-FATIO, editor, with E. 

 MERIMEE and P. PARIS, of the "Bulletin hispanique," 

 and R. FOULCHE-DELBOSC, editor of the "Revue 

 hispanique" and director of the "Biblioteca hispanica." 

 With them may be chosen for mention J. CORNTJ, L. de 

 VIEL-CASTEL, E. MERIMEE, and L. P. THOMAS, students 

 respectively of the Cid, the theater, Quevedo, and preci- 

 osity. E. MARTINENCHE has treated of the influence of 

 the Spanish drama on the French. Compared with 

 France, the Teutonic countries have at present few 

 students of Hispanic speech and letters, and none of 

 great authority. In conclusion, it may be recalled that 

 two of the most important Spanish texts, the "Cronica 

 rimada del Cid" and the "Cancionero general" of 1554, 

 were printed in France (in 1846 and 1878), and that 

 Paris was the seat of publication of the sixty volumes 

 of the "Coleccion de los mejores autores espanoles"
