Abstract
The manuscript preserved in the National Library of Spain under the signature Res/134 contains, among other works, the first act considered autograph of Lope de Vega’s El favor agradecido. In this work a paleographic study of his writing is carried out to answer two questions that arise from this field, one as to whether the different graphic changes observed in the text may be related to the existence of several hands in the manuscript and establish whether such an act should continue to be considered an autograph by the author, as there are several graphic differences observed regarding Lope’s canonical writing. The application of a rigorous analysis has also made it possible to correct a mistake that has been repeated in the dating of this testimony, from the date it appears on the cover.
