55 Lazarillo 's answer, "that the distance is equal to the space through which the human voice can be heard, " was suggested by the teaching of the priests, that God can hear our songs of praise and our prayers; while the more common answer, that the distance is not a day's journey, since Christ said "today shalt thou be with me in paradise, " is taken from the Gospel according to Luke. A subject of discussion fit for scholastic disputes was the question regarding the age of the world, which in... Lazarillo and its sources takes the form : ' ' how many days have passed since Adam lived?" 56 In serious disquisitions Old Testament chron- ology was frequently cited authoritatively, but the answer in Lazarillo was no doubt intended to parody such questions, 57 as si Cf. The Demaundes joyous, Kemble, op. Cit. , pp. 287, 315: "what space is from ye hyest space of the se to the depest? But a stone's cast. " ss Cf. Nos. 4, 7, 12, 15, 17, 21, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 of the biblio- graphical Appendix, II.
