ALONSO VELOSO, María José. The Consideraciones sobre el Testamento Nuevo attributed to Quevedo: identity of the work and its authorship. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2019, vol.67, n.2, pp.503-543.  Epub 26-Jul-2019. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v67i2.3528.

This paper focuses on the identity and authorship of the Consideraciones sobre el Testamento Nuevo attributed to Quevedo. Ever since Astrana’s edition, scholars have accepted that the lost work is the same as that which Astrana put together, using texts taken from a manuscript thought to be the only testimony. A detailed study of the codex reveals that Astrana manipulated the manuscript in two ways: he gave it the title of the lost work and he created a single work by joining separate texts together. The analysis addresses the content of the work, its relationship to the genres of sacred oratory, and the style. The paper concludes that there is no convincing textual evidence to link the text of the manuscript with the lost work, and also puts in doubt its attribution to Quevedo.
