    La Celestina, by Fernando de Rojas, is considered one of the greatest works of Spanish literature and one of the most significant of the 15th century. Likewise, it arises in a period of transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The play was originally published in 16 acts under the title 'Comedia de Calisto y Melibea'. Later, a second version appears called 'Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea', composed of 21 acts. Finally, it became popular under the name La Celestina, having a great influence on the development of subsequent literature and, today, its genre and authorship continue to generate controversy.
