Abstract


The generic vagueness of Historias peregrinas y ejemplares (1623) would be a convincing evidence of the experimentation that characterizes the whole prose of Gonzalo de Céspedes y Meneses. Among the confluence of different genres, opposite tendencies and literary trends that make up Historias peregrinas y ejemplares, the vigour of the Greek model is specially outstanding, to such an extent that some of them may be even regarded as genuine short Byzantine novels.
