Abstract

I have studied the main ancient and Italian sources of the Herrera’s Anotaciones, direct or with the mediation of Garcilaso, and how to combine or adapt them, concluding that his ideal is a platonism close to contemporary sacroprofan mysticism, without neglecting the physiological or medical basis, and adapting the best of those classical authors to conventional moral, through Italian love treaties; especially those of Castiglione, León Hebreo and Agostino Nifo.
