Las Novelas en verso de Cristóbal de Tamariz, ecos medievales y folclóricos

Abstract

This article presents a state of the art on the Novelas en verso by Cristóbal de Tamariz, a corpus that is still under discussion, both in terms of the number of its texts and its sources. The medieval models of stories 4, 7 and 5 are traced, before stopping at novella 15 (The Tournament). The main hypotext (novella iii, 4 of Le piacevoli notti by Giovan Francesco Straparola) is superimposed by the memory of the folkloric tradition, which explains some of the changes.
