The novel Enrique fi de Oliva, written in the 14th century, obtained a remarkable publishing success in 16th century. This work tells the story of a woman falsely accused of adultery by a traitor and whose son re-establishes her prior social position and honor. This Castilian text is revolved around the subject of the calumny. The source of inspiration came from the epic French poem Doon de la Roche, which was altered with the intention that the various episodes agree with the valid laws and customs known by the readers of that time. The Latin- Bolognese juridical tradition turned this concept of �nature� into a juridical concept, transforming it, subsequently, into a clue to determine whether something was or not a crime.
