Abstract

A play of doubtful authorship is included in Agustin Moreto’s Tercera parte de comedias: Empezar a ser amigos is a play about a common theme in Spanish Golden Age theatre, i.e. loyalty between friends that love the same woman. The play is conserved in a suelta whose author is Juan Perez de Montalban but also in two manuscripts and a print edition all ascribed to Moreto. The research presents an hypothesis of dating and debates the question of authorship. Together with the philological and critical instruments, we analyse the play with package Stylo in order to support with stylometry the thesis that Empezar a ser amigos is a play written in collaboration between Calderon, Rojas Zorrilla y Montalban.
