Abstract
Problems of authorship are common in the Spanish classical theatre, and are compounded in the case of comedies that have not aroused particular interest among scholars, because there are hardly any studies that support or discuss one authorship or another. This is the case with the comedy titled Satisfacer callando or Los hermanos encontrados, attributed in the 17th century both to Lope de Vega and Agustín Moreto. This article examines in detail the two authorships, taking into account all ancient editions and manuscripts of the comedy which have been preserved, and concludes that it was not written by either, so it should join the list of Spanish Golden Age comedies that are in search of an author.

La comedia es solo una, aunque de ella sí han llegado hasta nosotros dos versiones: una larga, la de E1, presumiblemente también reducida ya en su tercera jornada, y otra 700 versos más breve, la de los demás testimonios, probable resultado de la acción un autor de comedias que quiso reducir la extensión de la obra con vistas a alguna puesta en escena
