Although the Poema heroico de las necedades y locuras de Orlando enamorado has been considered one of the most important Quevedo's long poems, it has not received the critical attention that it deserves. In this article, the author examines again some questions previously studied in other works. With this perspective, he has tried to solve some critical deficiencies such as its editorial history, always very problematic in a poem by Quevedo, the date of writing, the genre, its sources and the amplificatio, as the prevailing rhetorical resource.
