Abstract
T HE date of Lope de Vega's birth has always been stated as November 25, 1562. Since no documentary record of his birth has ever been found, his biographers have accepted the word of Juan P6rez de Montalvain, who gives that date in his Fama p6stuma: Nacio en Madrid, en casas de Geronimo de Soto, en la Puerta de Guadalaxara, a veinte y cinco de Nouiembre, afio de quinientos y sesenta y dos, dia de san Lope, Obispo de Verona. Bautiz6se en seis de Diziembre. .. .,,1 In this study we propose to show that Lope was born on December 2 (Old Style), and that the date of November 25 is the result of a mistake in identification.
