Between the Transformacions of Francesc Alegre (c.1452 - c.1508) and the mythological proses of Joan Roís de Corellasome textual coincidences have been detected. Not without reservations, these coincidences have been explainedas Corellas influence on Alegre. This is the most satisfactory explanation, given Alegre’s admiration and imitation ofCorella’s prose, and Corella’s huge fame in the second half of the fifteenth century. However, Alegre knew earlier versionsof Ovid’s Metamorphoses, such as that by Francesc de Pinós (1416-1475), or the anonymous Castilian version, bothnowadays lost. And perhaps these versions were known by Corella too. The textual coincidences of these two authors havebeen analyzed here to determine if they respond to Corella’s direct influence or if, in some cases, they could be explainedby a common ancestor.
