In Barbara Matulka, The Novels of Juan de Flores and their European Diffusion (New York, 1931). I am indebted to Mrs. P. J. Waley, who is engaged on a study of Flores, for drawing my attention to this use of Petrarch.

A sententia on p. 399, on the errors of the great, may well be Petrarchan, and there are other possible reminiscences. For the osccurrence of these two in La Celestina, see pp. 39, 59.

I have not been able to verify the first of these statements. Farinelli's authority for the third is Amador de los Ríos, Historia crítica de la literatura española, vi (Madrid, 1865), 41, who mentions a MS. but gives no further information. The MS. is in the Biblioteca National, Madrid (MS. 9815), though not yet catalogued. I have not yet been able to examine it, and owe my information to Dr. J. E. Varey. Hernando Dr. J. E. Varey. Hernando de Talavera (1428-1507) was the first Archbishop of reconquered Granada. The author of the Discurso was not, as has been generally supposed, the brother of Alfonso de Cartagena, who lived from 1379 to 1448. He was, as Cantera Burgos, 379-81, shows, a citizen of Saragossa (1447-1521). Whether he is praising De Remediis is doubtful: the object of his praise is historical works; but, though the title is not mentioned, his wording implies knowledge of De Remediis.
