El "Castruccio Castracani" de Pero Mexía
Abstract
The bibliographical reception on Machiavelli during the Siglo de Oro was usually limited to the Discourses and the Art of War. In this article, I argue that this consideration is not correct, because in Pedro Mexía‘s Silva de varia lección is contained a version of the biography of the Italian militar. Despite the arrangements introduced by Mexía, the version offered, except for being shorter, is sustantially identical to Machiavelli‘s work.
