La Cristiada, by Fray Diego de Hojeda, is one of the great
religious epics of the seventeenth century. The present work, the
result of a vast amount of research, attempts to discover the
sources used by Hojeda. As one reads it, one feels that Hojeda must
have had access to most, if not all, of the literary material
available in his day the classical, medieval, Renaissance, and
contemporary literatures, sacred history, and mythology, and the
works of the mystics and the patristic writers. La Cristiada, so
baroque in its structure, is a mirror of the times and an epitome
of the learning and culture that prevailed and to which one could
attain during the Golden Age of Spain. The two chapters on legends
and traditions make this source study of interest not only to
scholars and students of Spanish literature, but also to students
of Christian lore.
