Abstract

Manuscript 6513 of the Spanish National Library contains a large collection of papers written in Jesuit schools during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Among this material, there is a rhetorical amplification of the Aesopian fable of the ass in the lionskin who was unmasked by a fox. In this article this short piece has been edited and analized in order to show that it was clearly inspired by the fable of the lion and the fox, whose amplification was included in the progymnasmata handbook published by Bartolomé Bravo, S. I.
