Concolorcorvo was the pseudonym of Calixto Bustamante Carlos, Inca, which in turn was the nom de plume of Alonso Carrió de la Vandera, whose dates modern scholarship has established as 1715-1783. Regarding the true identity of the author, the uncontested place of publication, and probable year of publication of this underground press work, see the discussion in: (1) Vargas Ugarte ; (2) José J. Real Díaz, "Don Alonso Carrió de la Bandera autor del Lazarillo de ciegos caminantes," Anuario de estudios americanos, 13 (1956), p. 387-416; (3) the "Introduction de Marcel Bataillon" to the French translation, Itinéraire de Buenos-Aires à Lima (Paris : Institut des Hautes Etudes de l'Amérique Latine, 1961), p. [1]-17; and (4) Félix Alvarez-Brun, "Noticias sobre Carrió de la Vandera, autor del Lazarillo de ciegos caminantes," Caravelle: cahier du monde hispanique et luso-brésilien, 7 (1966), p. 179-188
