The recent finding of new testimonies on Miguel de Cervantes life, preserved in several Sevillian archives, has helped to clarify his presence in Seville and other places of this region exercising as Royal Commissioner of Supplies in spring of 1593. These testimonies clarify a dark period in his biography, and increase our knowledge of his activities in Porcuna (Jaén) as Royal Commissar of Supplies in January 1592. The new documentation offers information about an unknown commission entrusted on February 21 1593 to Cervantes by Cristobal de Barros, the general supplier of the Carrera de las Indias’ fleet. These papers also provide the name of a Sevillian woman, Magdalena Enriquez, a merchant who manufacture “biscochos” for the Navy, who legally was authorized by Cervantes to collect the salary owed for his services in that institution. It is remarkable the narrow relation of friendship between Cervantes and this woman, and also with Tomas Gutiérrez. In sum, this article provides fourteen new Cervantian documents that I meet and transcribe for Anales Cervantinos. Six of these documents were already edited between 2014 and 2015, and the other eight are published for the first time. With this documentary contribution new research routes are open to penetrate into the enigmatic life of the author of Don Quixote
