Thirty-nine plays were published in his lifetime, twenty-four of them as Comedias de Fr. Don Iuan Bautista Diamante . . . in two parts in 1670 and 1674; the remainder appeared between 1656 and 1672 in the series Comedias escogidas de los mejores de Espa\u00F1a . . . . Many plays (some of doubtful attribution, such as La devoci\u00F3n del rosario, La Magdalena de Roma\u200A and La Jud\u00EDa de Toledo \u2013 see below) were printed or reprinted as sueltas in the eighteenth century. Diamante collaborated with other playwrights and poets of the time, notably Matos Fragoso, Moreto, Juan V\u00E9lez, Sebasti\u00E1n de Villaviciosa, Lanini y Sagredo, and Francisco de Avellaneda. In all, including works of collaboration, he produced around forty-five plays, plus two autos, a number of zarzuelas, and a handful of minor pieces (loas, bailes and entremeses). According to Valbuena Prat, Diamante is historically interesting as the introducer of French dramatic methods into Spain. The originality of his work has however been questioned by critics. Much of his output is essentially a reworking or refundici\u00F3n of other dramatists' material. La Jud\u00EDa de Toledo, which was long considered his best play, is really Mira de Amescua's La Desgraciada Raquel under another title; and El Honrador de su padre (1658), is little more than a free translation (up to the end of the second act, at least) of Corneille's Le Cid. His more successful plays were historical dramas such as El h\u00E9rcules de Oca\u00F1a, on the fearless , el Alcides castellano, and La reina Mar\u00EDa Estuarda, on the life (and death) of Mary, Queen of Scots."@en . .
