The continuation of the Abencerraje published in Milan (1593) by Francesco Balbi da Correggio has been relegated to a marginal role in the studies related to Hispanic epic poetry or in the versions of the well-known Moorish novella; however, it probably deserves greater attention in order to review, partially at least, some critical judgments that have become widespread about this literary work. This article addresses some aspects related to its composition and style, in particular in the Chant I, which is significant for hosting relevant elements. It is observed how, together with a consolidated literary baggage of the Italian epic genre during the Renaissance (Ariosto), the author has also assimilated traditional Hispanic readings outside the praxis of contemporary epic authors.

Abstract
The continuation of the Abencerraje published in Milan (1593) by Francesco Balbi da Correggio has been relegated to a marginal role in the studies related to Hispanic epic poetry or in the versions of the well-known Moorish novella; however, it probably deserves greater attention in order to review, partially at least, some critical judgments that have become widespread about this literary work. This article addresses some aspects related to its composition and style, in particular in the Chant I, which is significant for hosting relevant elements. It is observed how, together with a consolidated literary baggage of the Italian epic genre during the Renaissance (Ariosto), the author has also assimilated traditional Hispanic readings outside the praxis of contemporary epic authors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
