Commentary Cide Hamete begins to write the second part of Don Quixote; "Cuenta Cide Hamete Benengeli, en la segunda parte desta historia y tercera salida de don Quijote..." (1:2).
Very detailed and remarkable Arab setting. 
Notes This tailpiece appears in the prologue, but there is not any reference in it about Cide Hamete.
