Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the deep mark left by the Cordovan philosopher throughout an extensive historical period. The influence of his Stoic thought began to be obvious from the fifth century. Numerous translations, copies and writings confirmed this fact. Progressively this doctrine became decisive and crucial during the Late Middle Ages, being already an intellectual phenomenon from the fifteenth century. This was reflected in the morality exposed by the Neostoicism movement, especially Francisco de Quevedo.
