The Topografía e historia general de Argel, published in 1612, is a basic source for our knowledge of Cervantes's heroism in Algiers. It has already been established that Diego de Haedo, whose name appears on the title page, could not have written it. No other work by any other author has such close parallels with Cervantes's works, parallels so close that they already have been called ¿perplexing.¿ The present article proposes that Cervantes is the author of the work, and the presentation of his heroism is thus another example of his self-praise.
