'Republica Literaria' by D Diego de Saabedra was published in Alcala, Spain in 1670. It contains mention of 'jaulas de grillos' (cricket cages) but does not say what these cages were made of or even if they contained crickets at the time. However, an English translation 'The Commonwealth of Learning' (see below), published in 1705, translated this as 'little cages with crickets in them'.
