Comparison of the following copies of Ocho comedias y entremeses, nunca representados (Madrid: La viuda de Alonso Martín, 1615), which contains La entretenida, revealed no differences apart from occasional press variants. The copy held by the Codrington Library (nn. 7.3) has been chosen as the primary reference source because it is the best example of the books examined.
