Abstract


Although many scholars and editors of the ode «El aire se serena» by fray Luis de León have denied or questioned the authenticity of its fifth stanza, there now seems to be a general assent to its acceptance. The reason for such a change of heart has not to do with textual criticism proper, but with literature. The sources of the ode are said to justify it. In this paper a strictly critico-textual demonstration of the authenticity of stanza 5 is proposed, placing emphasis on the cause of the diffraction displayed in the erroneous lectiones of a segment of the stanza.
