Literary This Literary Works Bibliography (including novels, poems, essays, notes, speeches, etc.) is based on the list provided by the Jose Rizal National Centennial Commission, particularly in its publication entitled Quotations from Rizal’s Writings, which is translated in English by Encarnacion Alzona from the original Pensamientos de Rizal in Spanish.

The note is written at the bottom of the dedicatory on the last page of the typewritten copy of Mare- magnum of P. J. Burgos, which Herminigildo Cruz edited and published.
