La Celestina (used as title, synecdoche, one of the characters of the book actually called Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea or Comedia de Calisto y Melibea, in English Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea) is a work composed entirely in dialog published by Fernando de Rojas in 1499. Rojas was a descendant of converted Jews, a lawyer, and late in life served as an alderman of Talavera de la Reina, an important commercial center near Toledo.
