there represented to have been a Sevillan of illustrious family, Don
Juan Tenorio by name. The story first appears in a Franciscan chronicle
of Seville, written in the 16th century. It then attracted the attention
of the great Spanish dramatists of the end of the 16th and beginning of
the 17th century. The first complete use of it for literary purposes was
by Tirso de Molina (whose true name was Gabriel Tellez), in his play _El
