Interactive Quixote
TheInteractive Quixote is a project offering an innovative approach to the first edition of Cervantes' most important work, conserved in the assets of the Biblioteca Nacional de España. Thanks to this initiative, it is possible to read Don Quixote as if you had the book in your hands, while at the same time accessing multimedia content which help contextualise the work.
The initiative started with high quality digitalisation of the copies the BNE holds of the first edition of Don Quixote: those published in Madrid in 1605 and in 1615; an interactive portal has been constructed around this new digitalisation, to which maps, engravings and other content has been added, taken from 43 different editions of Don Quixote and from a further 21 works, all belonging to the BNE.
