I am hoping that someone can help me with the following versos from Act III
of Lope's *La prueba de los ingenios*:
"¿De cuál hombre se ha contado
que, suelto de la leonera
del Duque, un hijo le quite
una mujer en Florencia
que le llevaba en la boca."
They appear in a passage listing "mujeres sabias" but I have not yet been
able to figure out who they refer to. My understanding is that Lope
probably found the reference in Textor's *Officinae*, but unfortunately, I
don't read Latin well enough to consult that book.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
DeLys
