After defending that Lazarillo is a legal novel written by a jurist from Toledo who could have been Fernando de Rojas, in this paper an analysis is offered of those literary books that the author of La Celestina jealously kept in his personal library until his death and of other readings that marked his literary and professional career from this work and that justify his imprint on the pages of Lazarillo de Tormes. One more step towards consolidating our theory that the Toledan writer could have been the author of Lazarillo.
