«A comparison of the use of epic epithets in the Poema de Mio Cid and the Libro de Alexandre», BHS, XXXVIII (1961), 32-41, at p. 32.

I give references to the editions by Menéndez Pidal, Poesía juglaresca, 6th ed., 389-92 [MP] (Menéndez Pidal divides the material into 29 sections), and by Criado and Naylor, LBA, pp. 605-13 [CN] (page and line-numbers are given). I modernize punctuation, accents and word-division, and regularize the use of i and j, u and v.

This is MP 5; CN 60520-21. Michael, «A comparison», 32-33, suggests a possible common source in a proverb, but Menéndez Pidal's argument for direct derivation from the Alexandre seems to me to be very strong. On the other hand, Michael is clearly right in rejecting Menéndez Pidal's view that MS P of the Alexandre may reflect at this point the results of transmission by juglares.

Anthony Zahareas, «Troba cazurra: an example of Juan Ruiz's art», Romance Notes, V (1963-64), 207-11; André S. Michalski «Juan Ruiz's troba cazurra: "Cruz cruzada panadera"», Romance Notes, XI (1969-70), 434-38; Louis Combet, «Doña Cruz, la panadera del "buen amor"», Ínsula, 294 (mayo 1971), 14-15. A different, and in my opinion a mistaken, view is taken by Rodrigo A. Molina, «La copla cazurra del Arcipreste de Hita: hipótesis interpretativa», Ínsula, 288 (nov. 1970), 10-11, who sees this as a religious lyric.
