Abstract
When in 2006 Prado’s Museum acquired part of the splendid library coming from Daza-Madrazo’s Collection, a manuscript, unknown until now, appeared among the books under the title: Comentario de la pintura y pintores antiguos by Felipe de Guevara (c.1500-1563). It was the manuscript send in 1787 by the Dean of Plasencia’s Cathedral, José Alfonso de Roa, to Antonio Ponz for its publication (1788). In the present article this manuscript is analysed in order to establish if it is the original one written by Guevara around 1560 or, by contrast, it is a posterior copy.Downloads
