Abstract

WHEN Azurara, writing his Chronica do Conde dom Pedro de Menezes about 1460, mentioned in passing that Vasco de Lobeira was the author of the Amadis, he could not have foreseen that he was giving rise to a controversy which, nearly five hundred years later, is almost as far from a satisfactory conclusion as it was at the beginning. It is not proposed here to retell the complicated story of the discussion, for this has been done in a complete and yet concise manner by Miss G. S. Williams in her article 'The Amadis Question' in Revue Hispanique, xxI, No. 59, September 1909. It will suffice briefly to indicate the chief points on which a certain measure of agreement has been reached.
