Who wrote Lazarillo DE Tormes?

The authorship of *Lazarillo de Tormes* is a bit of a mystery. It's traditionally attributed to Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, a Spanish nobleman, diplomat, and writer.

However, there's no definitive proof. Some scholars believe Mendoza may have been the editor or compiler of the work, rather than the sole author.

Others speculate that the work might have been written by a group of authors or even an anonymous author.

The debate continues, and the mystery of Lazarillo's true creator adds to the novel's enduring fascination.
