From the horrific to the heroic, cinematic werewolves are metaphors for our savage nature, symbolizing the secret, bestial side of humanity that hides beneath our civilized veneer.

This is a definitive critical edition of the holograph manuscript (1639) of Calderón’s comedy. This volume traces the textual history of the play and lists variants from all known editions printed in or immediately after Calderón’s lifetime; it also gives a brief account of editions printed up to the end of the eighteenth century. Two sets of notes are provided: one listing and discussing all the emendations, additions and deletions made by Calderón in the course of the composition of the play; and the other offering clarification of words and allusions in the text which might cause difficulty for the modern reader.
Correlates of Protection (CoP) are biological parameters present in vaccinated or naturally infected individuals that predict levels of protection against an infectious disease. CoP facilitate vaccine licensing since they enable: a) the selection of antigen composition of a vaccine; b) the assessment of vaccine efficacy in clinical trials without exposure of participants to natural infection; and c) bridging between first- and second-generation vaccines.
