Abstract
In this paper we aim to constrast an excerpt from Heliodoros�s Theagenes and Charikleia, Charikleia�s birth, with a section from Tasso�s Gerusalemme liberata, and both texts with a passage from the anonymous play La conquista de Jerusalén, as kept in a manuscript from the Biblioteca de Palacio, discovered and published fifteen years ago by S. Arata. Our conclusion is that the anonymous author of the Spanish play only knows and imitates Tasso�s text. So, if it is in fact a Cervantine work, as it seems very probable, its date could be a very early one, circa 1581.
