Excerpt from Juan Rufo, Jurado de Córdoba: Estudio Biográfico y Crítico
Grato es comenzar la biografía de un hombre notable relatando las hazañas y heroicos hechos de sus antepasados; mas es sensible tener que arrojar de su pedestal unafestatua y negar loores, antes infundadamente prodigados, al personaje cuya historia se escribe. Tal agradable principio dieron á sus trabajos los Sres. Fernández Guerra (don Aureliano y don Luis) en las biografías de Quevedo y de don J uan Ruiz de Alarcón, y don Martín Fernández de Navarre te en la del inmortal Cervantes; y el lamentable despojo del ilustre abolengo queda reservado á nosotros, si es que hemos de ser fieles narradores del origen y hechos del jurado de Córdoba.
