The relevance of this is to be found a while later in L0pe de Vega’s La Dorotea.

This came up in conversation a few days ago, so I looked into it a bit. And alas, though mistranslation is not the culprit, it seems pretty clear to me that the slippers must originally have been fur, and turned into glass through a misunderstanding. If he meant "vair" "fur" he must either have been a bad speller (very unlikely) or there must have been an eighteenth century orthographic variant for "vair".( Possible but not likely.) Anyway nobody mistranslated "vair" as "glass". It's Perrault himself who writes "verre". It should also be taken into account that in the oldest Chinese version of the story, it was a "golden" slipper. See this seems to be a case of erudition run wild. Balzac's and Littré's (a nineteenth-century man of letters, author of an important dictionary), to be precise. They stipulated the verre/vair confusion. But "pantouffles de verre" (though in various spellings) are in Perrault's tale, and also in Catalan, Irish and Scottish versions. The Grimm brothers' has golden slippers -- not much better than glass, I'd think, to dance in all night. Wikipedia tells me that there are over 400 versions from all over the world, the oldest from China.The standard explanation for Cinderella's famous footwear is that it is the result of a mistranslation, someone having mistaken pantoufle de vair, fur slipper, for pantoufle de verre, glass slipper, when making an English version of Charles Perrault's Histoires ou contes du temps passé avec des moralités (1697). (The title of Perrault's collection — in English, Stories or Tales of Olden Times with Morals— also is known as Tales of My Mother Goose, after a line that appears on the frontispiece of the original, Contes de ma mère l'oye.) Golden suggests both "expensiveness" and "light-reflection". So both "vair" ( expensive ermine-like fur) and "verre" ( glitter) fit the poetic core of this fairy-tale, of which there exists an unending list of variants. Some even Native American.

I'm not entirely convinced. The fact that the Grimm bros. have "golden slippers" resonates with de Chateaubriand's observation that only knights "avaient le droit de porter ... l'or, le vair, l'hermine, le petit-gris, le velours, l'écarlate" ("had the right to wear gold, vair, ermine, gray squirrel fur, velvet, scarlet"). Note that "glass" is not on the list (though in fairness, I guess that glass was also a luxury item in medieval times). And I wonder what the collection date of the Catalan, Irish and Scottish versions is. I believe that there has been much more diffusion of folk tale details in recent centuries than is commonly assumed. Unless the other versions are from the era of 1700 -- which seems unlikely, since the collection of such tales was more typically a late 18th or 19th-century activity -- it seems as just as likely that Perrault's invention spread to other cultures as that there was a common pre-Perrault source for the idea of "glass slippers".
