Description
AN EARLIER STUDY HIGHLIGHTED certain connections between the Spanish translation of Italian historian Paolo Giovio's Elogia and the works of Miguel de Cervantes, (1) among them Giovio's semi-apocryphal Muley Hamet and his completely fictional father Zidamet in relation to Cervantes's Cide Hamete Benengeli; an historically real, and quite irate Spanish soldier turned historian possibility for "other historians" having named Cervantes's protagonist Quesada/Quijada; a poet Andres de Angulo who clarifies the reference to two persons by that name in El coloquio de los perros; and a poem written by Cervantes's friend Gregorio Silvestre, (2) in which we hear the the first person poetic voice of Charles V praise himself, then Giovio and his pen, verses echoed at the end of the 1615 Quijote with Cide Hamete's pen praising itself and Cervantes's protagonist. The introductions and interpolations by the same translator to another work by Italian historian Giovio, his monumental Histories, (3) offer a possible model for Cervantes's interrupted history and layering of narrative voices in Don Quijote.
