This article provides new evidences in favour of the hypothesis that Cervantes, after finishing Don Quixote, Part II, partially revised the original, introducing some significant changes and additions, mainly in the last chapters. The analysis of some narrative inconsistencies, that cannot be interpreted as mere mistakes but as significant textual traces, reveals a process of re-elaboration –a process that affects at least four sections of the novel. Most of the evidence gathered here suggests that this revision is closely linked to Avellaneda’s continuation, in the sense that Cervantes tried to challenge the apocriphal Quixote making last-time interventions in his own text. El presente artículo aporta pruebas a favor de la hipótesis de que Cervantes, una vez concluida la Segunda parte del Quijote (o al final del proceso de redacción), revisó parcialmente el original para introducir retoques y adiciones de cierto calado. A partir del estudio de una serie de incongruencias narrativas que no parecen achacables al mero descuido, se ponen de manifiesto las huellas de un proceso de reelaboración que afecta por lo menos a cuatro secciones de la novela. La mayor parte de indicios apuntan a que la revisión estuvo casi siempre ligada al desafío que supuso la continuación de Avellaneda, y a que esos cambios fueron acciones de última hora para impugnar al continuador apócrifo.

Understanding spatiotemporal patterns of salinity in Barataria Basin in coastal Louisiana is important to better understand and manage operations of existing and proposed freshwater and sediment diversions from the Mississippi River into the estuary. In this study, a comprehensive salinity dataset was compiled which covered the entire basin and included data from 1990 through 2015. The data were aggregated into daily mean salinity timeseries across Barataria Basin at a variety of spatial scales and used to analyze historic patterns. Simulations were conducted with two hydrodynamic models, the Integrated Compartment Model (ICM) and Delft3D. The Delft3D model output was overlaid with observed geo-tagged locations of bottlenose dolphins that were sampled from the southwest quadrant of the basin. The ICM simulations were used to assess the impact of existing freshwater and proposed sediment diversion projects which reintroduce riverine water into the estuary. The salinity in the uppermost portions of the basin is sensitive primarily to the existing freshwater diversion, whereas additional flows from a proposed sediment diversion result in additional freshening. The lowermost region of the basin is most sensitive to the proposed sediment diversion; however, the magnitude varies by diverted flow volumes and assumed sea levels in the Gulf of Mexico.

This study examines the interrelations between orality and literacy in the episode of Barataria, in the Second Part of Don Quijote. It proposes that Sancho Panza’s wise judgments in Barataria are an example of the supremacy of orality over writing in this novel. Specifically, how orality is used by Cervantes as a device to denounce the excessively bureaucratized judiciary system of his time. Este estudio examina las relaciones entre la oralidad y la escritura en el episodio de Barataria, en la Segunda Parte de Don Quijote. Propone que los sabios juicios de Sancho en Barataria son un ejemplo de la supremacía de la oralidad sobre la escritura en esta novela. En particular, cómo Cervantes usa la oralidad y sus marcas como una herramienta para denunciar el excesivamente burocratizado sistema judicial de su época.
