This very Spanish personage dates, in idea, back to the servants of the Celestina and to the simple of Torres Naharro, but in the hands of Lope he is so developed and so omnipresent that he is justly accredited as a creation of the great "Fénix."

This innovation in England and France was the signal for the disappearance of the sacred plays; but not so in Spain, where they were continued several centuries, under the title of autos, after they had disappeared in other parts of Europe.
Untrammeled by the unities or other dramatic conventionalities, Lope was able in this drama, as in his others, to permit the action to develop naturally and simply with the various vicissitudes attendant upon every-day life and yet to weave the intricate threads of intrigue into a complex maze perfect in detail.
