Abstract

327
In 1623, Juan Ruiz de Alarcón prepared the Elogio descriptivo, a commissioned narration of the bullfight and cañas celebration in honour of the Prince of Wales. This series of seventy-three octavas inspired the satirical decimas by several poets, as Góngora, Quevedo and Lope de Vega. One of them is signed by fray Juan Centeno, of which there is no information in bibliographical catalogues. This name corresponds to the pseudonym used by fray Hortensio Félix Paravicino in a literary competition organised in Toledo in 1616. This article analyses the tendency of the trinitarian friar to hide himself behind pseudonyms and his reluctance to publish his poems, as well as the décimas against Alarcón and their transmission, and suggests that Paravicino is the author of the satirical poem attributed to fray Juan Centeno.
