The Cervantine collection of the Biblioteca de Catalunya is one of the most important collections in public sector about Miguel de Cervantes and his works.

Originally, it derives from a donation of around 3400 volumes of the bibliophile Isidre Bonsoms from Barcelona in 1915. It includes the works of Cervantes in original language and translations, works of biographic character and literary criticism as well as adapted and inspired works and Cervantine iconography.
