Modeled after Umberto Eco´s The Name of the Rose, Luis García Jambrina novels El manuscrito de piedra and El manuscrito de nieve reconstruct Salamanca at the times of the Catholic Monarchs with a detective fiction that narrates the activities of a young Fernando de Rojas, the presumed author of La Celestina, in order to clarify a number of crimes and deaths, including that of Prince John of Trastamara. While in El manuscrito de piedra the murders are the work of heterodox Spaniards who live hidden in a subterraneous cave of Salamanca, in El manuscrito de nieve the murders are part of the longstanding rivalry between the Salamanca clans of Saint Tomé and Saint Benito. Apart from the oddity of making Fernando de Rojas, Celestina, and Lázaro de Tormes protagonists and interlocutors, García Jambrina also gives unusual responses to literary enigmas as the genesis of La Celestina and Lazarillo´s case, whose intertextualities we find here and there throughout the novels.
