[edit] Don Quixote

Miguel Cervantes, author of the great classic, Don Quixote, said that his book was inspired by Tractado 3 in which Lazarillo serves an eccentric old squire who thought he had been a great knight.

I doubt this. Can somebody reference this? -- Error 01:26, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Miguel Cervantes said Don Quixote was inspired by Tractado 3 in which Lazarillo serves an eccentric old squire who thought he had been a great knight.

I find a study of the influence of Lazarillo on Cervantes, but it doesn't mention such a direct acknowledgement.

However, I find that at least someone thinks that Lope de Vega would have a direct or indirect influence:

Bibliography: López Navío, José: I. "El entremés de los romances, sátira contra Lope de Vega, fuente de inspiración de los primeros capítulos del Quijote". II. "Cide Hamete Benengeli: Lope de Vega". III. "Los d os autores del Quijote: primer autor, Cide Hamete (Lope), segundo autor (Cervantes)". ACer, 8 (1959-60), 151-239.

• "Vista de Toledo" por Lazarillo de Tormes

This is an impressionistic comment that is not very relevant. --Error 00:25, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• • Agreed. It's pretty irrelevant, so I removed it again. - Taxman ^Talk 11:18, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Advice

The following information should be added: We have four ancient editions of this book (Alcalá, Amberes...), Rosa Navarro Duran (I have requested (and submitted) the creation of an article with her name) has investigated about the authory and she has found that its author was Alfonso de Valdes.

As far as I know nobody supports that theory besides her. Anyway, you can edit the article yourself.--Rataube 17:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
