Is the Schevill-Bonilla edition just like the original text of the individual works?

No, but it is closer than almost any version you will find except for facsimile editions. In general it uses the original spelling, but it uses modern rules for punctuation and for capitalization (which causes some problems with the text), and it usually expands abbreviations used in the original. In addition, the S-B edition adds a few written accent marks, but the rules used for accents changed somewhat from work to work in the series. • Is your electronic edition exactly the same as the printed version by Schevill-Bonilla? No. It started out to be so, but I was incapable of blindly reproducing S-B’s text. I began with Don Quijote, which was the last of the works in the series, published by Schevill after Bonilla’s death. Presumably because Bonilla was not involved, the Quijote contains a higher number of typographical errors, and I could not help but correct them. I also could not justify distortions caused for example when S-B converted text between upper and lower case since in so
