Abstract

Mal Lara recognizes the contribution of some friends in the gloss of some proverbs in his Philosophía vulgar. Even though he does not quote El Brocense explicitly, the intellectual similarities, as well as the possible composition date of both works —by far before their publication— and, above all, the thematic and formal coincidences shared by the gloss of Mal Lara and the proverb «Son you are and father you’ll become», and the comments by El Brocense regarding the emblems 30, 157 and 194 of Alciato, allow us to suggest the possible hypothesis that, in fact, between these two Humanists there was an obvious collaboration whose amplitude and depth still need a closer examination.
