La segunda parte de “El coloquio de los perros” (1635) de Ginés Carrillo Cerón y su relación con “El coloquio de los perros” de Miguel de Cervantes: Proceso y síntesis de un marco narrativo cervantino

Abstract

Cervantes’s “El coloquio de los perros,” has been judged as an independent work from the alleged first part, “El casamiento enganoso,” as a continuation of the latter, or indeed as the end of a narrative process that encompasses in part the other Novelas ejemplares. The (re)apparition in 2013 of Gines Carrillo Ceron’s “Novela o coloquio que tuvieron Cipion y Berganza, perros que llaman de Mahudes, segunda parte de la que hizo Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra en sus novelas” (1635) demonstrates that a second colloquy would be necessarily different from the first. Since this last work does not retake the fabula of “El casamiento enganoso,” both colloquies, hence, seem to be independent of the “Casamiento” and, to some extent, even of the series that encompasses the Novelas ejemplares, a literary work seemingly still in transitu.
