Abstract

Alfonso de Cartagena makes reference in some of his glosses to the little veracity of the characters and dialogues in the tragedies, and insists that they lack strength as authorities. This argument is supported by recurring to ideas—and precautions—from literature, philosophy and theology, which come from an earlier tradition, also used as the source for his statements. In this article the basic theories that allowed Cartagena to form his particular view on the matter are covered. Furthermore, an analysis of the actual use he made of them in his writings and translations is featured.
