Abstract
Diego de Torres Villarroel publica en 1724 un almanaque titulado Melodrama astrológica: teatro temporal y político. El opúsculo, además de granjearle notoriedad al presuntamente vaticinar en él la muerte del rey Luis I, supone uno de los primeros intentos por insertar contenidos literarios en los pronósticos astrológicos. Este artículo trata de demostrar que, frente a las teorías que ven en el "modelo literario" un hallazgo original e inesperado, Torres se inspira en ciertas fórmulas que algunos autores de su tiempo practican con éxito en otras partes de Europa, concretamente en los Estados italianos. Diego de Torres Villarroel published in 1724 an almanac entitled Melodrama astrológica: teatro temporal y político. The chapbook, besides helping him to gain fame by having supposedly predicted the death of King Louis I, is one of his first attempts at incorporating literary content into astrological predictions. This article aims to demonstrate that, contrary to those critics who see in the "literary model" an original and fortuitous discovery, Torres is inspired by certain formulas that some other contemporary authors were successfully practicing in Europe, specifically in the Italian States.
