Abstract
Being Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz a character whose work is still being scrutinized, purified, her iconography still being registered, her library, inventoried, there are still pages to clarify concerning her life and work. The researcher Alejandro González Acosta gives us in his article some information about the lineage of two of Sor Juana's most decided protectors: the countess of Paredes and the marquis of the Laguna, viceroys of New Spain. The author also takes a trip through different Spanish archives to follow the steps of the editor of the Second Volume of Sor Juana's works, don Juan de Orúe. This data is very useful to shed light over certain passages of Sor Juana's relationship with these two characters.
