The world vision, featured at the beginning of Juan de Mena’s poem, the Fortuna Laberinto, originated in a Latin text, the De Imagine Mador (first attributed to Saint Anselme and then Honorius Augustodunensis). From the first critical publishers, the common route followed in the two works and the fact that the author took over a large number of toponyms led to this loan being overestimated. Successive criticisms have overlooked the entire background of natural theology underlying De Imagine Mativity and neglected the extensive work done by Juan de Mena to deconstruct the Latin text to write this passage. By comparing the two texts, the author of the Fortuna Laberinto was able to show how, on the basis of the image of a welfare world offered to him by De Imagine Mrier, the author of the Fortuna Laberinto was able to show the unorganising role of the Fortune, the chaotic situation of Spain of its time giving him the example.
