Gracián - El Arte de Prudencia

Links

The first place to visit is the Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
There you will find such treasures as

       The 1647 Huesca, Juan Nogés edition subsequently published and annotated
         by Profesor Emilio Blanco. This site includes a concordance, which permits
         you to search for words and phrases. Also here without concordence.

       A digital reproduction of the 1669, Oráculo, published by Amberes, en Casa de
         Geronymo y Iuanbaut. Verdussen. Images of each page have been scanned and
         transformed into jpg files. Note that this is not as trustworthy a version as the
         1647 version.

A list of all the wonderful Gracián works that may be accessed in Spanish.

       A pdf file of the 1685 translation of The Courtier's Manual Oracle printed by
         M. Flesher for Abel Swalle. This document is courtesy of Lachlan Cranswick.
         Note that this wonderful translation predates the 1702 Savage translation.

Lachlan Cranswick's web site devoted to the Oráculo. This is a treasure trove of
information on both Gracián and the Oráculo. This must-visit site also includes

the 1702 Savage translation of the Oráculo (what a goldmine)

and the Shambhala edition adapted from Joseph Jacobs. Also here.

Joseph Jacobs' translation of the Oráculo.
