Manuscript 9-2563 of the Library of the Real Academia de la Historia (Madrid) contains a series of Latin epigrams written by Licenciado Francisco Pacheco about the famous swordsman Jerónimo Sánchez de Carranza, author of Philosophía de las armas (Sanlúcar de Barrameda, 1582). It is composed of eight burlesque poems that ridicule a pretentious portrait of Carranza. In addition, they attack the foundations of the public image that Carranza tried to construct for himself. The paper places these poems in their
context and provides a critical edition, Spanish translation and commentary of the first two epigrams.
