Abstract
A study of the manuscript of Lope de Vegaʼs ec- logue Amarilis, contained in the Daza codex, reveals a series of signs and indications, disregarded by critics until now, which shed light on some curious variations and on the vicis- situdes of the creative process. The poet considered three versions of different length (1200 lines approximately, 971 lines, and 1337), depending on the form in which the work would be published. Eventually, he chose the longest version, which is the one printed in the 1633 loose edition, and includ- ed in La Vega del Parnaso.
