Undoubtedly the power of Cervantes' text
is evident, among other things, in the efforts to see it through the
prism of allegory or symbol. We treat it as the Bible has been
often treated and even justify this procedure by using examples from
allegorical exegeses of the Bible. This may or may not be
justified. After all, the Q is not the Bible. It is not a
sacred text. But that this can be attempted, and in some cases
quite strikingly or suggestively, again, shows the power of Cervantes'
creation. This great virtual colloquiuum continues to confirm
it. Thank you again, Kurt and Robert. Dario Fernandez-Morera,
