Abstract

This paper focuses on the so-called “Vintage Readings”, on the dichotomy intentio auctoris/ intentio operis coined by Umberto Eco and on the notions of sensus litteralis and sensus spiritualis, as well as on the ethical dimension of Hermeneutics addressed, among others, by E. D. Hirsch. To exemplify these concepts, I refer to various texts of Spanish literature that have been the object of anachronistic and erroneous exegesis, either by over-interpretation or by a manquée reading. Finally, I review and analyze the different interpretations of Francisco de Aldana’s sonnet «Otro aquí no se ve que frente a frente».
