This book contains Montemayor's Diana, Alcida y Sylvano, and Piramo y Tisbe, and it concludes with his sonnets. The sonnets, however, are preceded by the Spanish-language translation, by Alvar Gómez (b. ca. 1488), of Petrarch's Triumph of Love. Gomez's translation is the only work not by Montemayor in this book. Its presence seems intended to make clear to any reader the literary genealogy of Montemayor's sonnets, rooted in Petrarch's, that conclude this volume.
