One of Sophie and Clemens Brentano’s joint undertakings was to translate Spanish and Italian novellas into German. This draft was written in Sophie’s hand, then corrected and furnished with a title by Clemens. Their translations of the Spanish novellas by María de Zayas y Sotomayor came out in two volumes in 1804 and 1806. On account of Sophie’s death on 31 October 1806, however, the Italian novellas never saw publication.
