f El prólogo de Amadís (1508) y las Estorias de Troya. Transferencias

This article analyses Montalvo’s Amadís “compositio” on the frame of Trojan material, its literary tradition and its generic context in the Castilian and European Middle Ages. The article puts the question, always through the texts, about how Montalvo assumes this tradition and how he revitalized it for his readers. The matière antique and its formulation in the Middle Ages provide to Montalvo a poetic plot where to fixe his Amadís as a crossroads between fiction (fabula) and history-story (historia-estoria). In this way Montalvo scapes to the moral limitations and censures against chivalric fiction, parallels to the fiction development.
