According to Pérez de Montalbán, Lope de Vega wrote more than four hundred autos sacramentales, a tenth of which have survived.

Lope's autos constitute a series of extraordinary dramatic and poetic value . In autos, Lope leans towards lyrical exploration and the adaptation of popular elements, fused with other complex material such as historical events or gospel narratives.

Although the corpus of the autos sacramentales of the Golden Age is immense and still requires careful attention and delay research, the pieces of the genre by Lope and Calderón will offer readers and specialists, in the critical editions of the GRISO of the University of Navarra, directed by Ignacio Arellano, the most excellent of this category.
