[1 ] Esteban Gabriel Merino in his cf. Fermin Caballero, Conquenses ilustres, vol. 4: Alonso y Juan de Valdés, Madrid, 1875 , Appendix, No. 23, p. 350⌊letter of Jaen, 1527-11-25cf. Fermin Caballero, Conquenses ilustres, vol. 4: Alonso y Juan de Valdés, Madrid, 1875 , Appendix, No. 23, p. 350⌋, asks Alfonso de Valdés to send him a Pasquillus: Aca me scrivieron que tenia algunas obras de Pasquino. No dexe de nos las embiar porque aca nos sobra el tiempo y qualquier Jenero de nuevas recebimos gran pasatiempo. This is the only mention about Pasquillus in Valdés’ correspondence, if not counting the exchange of letters with Dantiscus. Because not a lot of the correspondence of Valdés has been preserved, it is not possible to establish, if Valdés mentions here that request of Merino or a different one
