| Summary: | From Deyermond (“The name of Petrarch is almost the first thing that catches the eye when one opens La <em>Celestina</em>) to Ruiz Arzalluz (“The work that most often surfaces when reading <em>La Celestina</em> […] is the Latin work of Petrarch”), the subject matter of the relationship between the Spanish tragicomedy and the Latin work of the Aretino occupies a central place in the studies on Rojas’ masterpiece.
