Resumo

Robert Ashley’s Of Honour, edited in 1947 by Virgil B.Heltzel, has become a reference work in studies on honor in English literature, but we have known since 2016 that it is a translation of Sebastián Fox Morcillo’ De honore (Basel: 1556). In this paper the authors analyze and compare the three existing manuscripts of Of honour (two of them recently identified), discuss the possible intentions of the author, and make a complete comparative study of De honore with Robert Ashley’s translation. They also highlight the importance of both works on future studies of honor in modern English literature.
