Abstract
In 1983, José Manuel Blecua brought to light an important manuscript containingten novels which had been written by Pedro de Salazar. All the novelscan be dated before the publishing of El patrañuelo, by Timoneda (1567).They should be granted an exceptional place in the development of the genre,mainly because it is the only precervantine collection with a narrative framestructure. The novels belong to different narrative genres such as the humorousstring, the Byzantine tale, or the more or less sentimentally related stories.Those ten novels form part of a scheduled group of thirty stories. In this sense,today it can be stated that the Cuatro cuentos de ejemplos, brought out in 1992,belong to that nowadays dismembered structure.Nueva Revista de Filología Hispánica (1947-), volume 66, 2, July-December 2018, is a semi-annual publication edited by El Colegio de México, Carretera Picacho Ajusco 20, Ampliación Fuentes del Pedregal, Tlalpan, C.P. 14110, Mexico City, Mexico, Tel.
