Las primeras traducciones castellanas de la Atala de Chateaubriand

When the first Spanish translation of Chateaubriands Atala appeared in Paris in 1801, it was attributed on the cover to «S. Robinson, Professor of Spanish Language in Paris». This translation set in motion a polemic concerning the true identity of the novel's translator: was it Samuel Robinson, the pseudonym used by Simón Rodríguez, Bolivar's teacher, or was it the Mexican Fray Servando Teresa de Mier? In the course of this polemic, Venezuelans and Mexicans voiced opposing views. The aim of this article is to resolve this issue through a lexicographical examination of the translation. Attention is also paid to the translation by Rodenas (Valencia, 1803), accused by Fray Servando of having plagiarised his own
