Abstract
In the literature of the Spanish Golden Age we can find a genre of works focused on praising and flattering important people of the moment to gain their favor: the panegyrics. Unfortunately, they have been forgotten over the years. We do not actually know if this problem is due to the professionals’ disinterest around this subject. Maybe it has been obscured by the importance of other subject matters, but, in any case, it is important that we try and fix it. A very significant and essential work of this genre in the seventeenth century is Luis de Góngora and his Panegírico al duque de Lerma. Nowadays the important role of this poem is highly recognized and so we need to study it in order to really understand the other works that were inspired by it. To do so, we must get back to those scholars who dedicated their time to study it back in that century: Angulo y Pulgar, Pellicer and Salcedo Coronel. Their words will help us discover more about Góngora’s Panegírico and all the social and cultural issues present during its composition. Thereby, it is our job to recover, study and publish these pieces since we believe that bringing them back will help us to know a lot more about fields like History, Art, Literature, Rhetoric or Etymology, and the way of thinking at the time and how that society and culture were.
