Domingo de Toral y Valdés es reconocido hoy en día por haber escrito uno de los últimos relatos autobiográficos soldadescos durante el apogeo del Imperio español (aunque no se publicó hasta los finales del siglo XIX). A lo largo de su obra hay descripciones minuciosas de fracasos militares y por eso la crítica hasta ahora se ha enfocado en esos aspectos bélicos de su autobiografía. Sin embargo, una faceta ignorada es su habilidad inesperada de observar y representar a los no católicos de manera ecuánime y hasta positiva. Sobre todo durante su estancia en Alepo, cuando cae prisionero por las autoridades otomanas bajo sospecha de ser espía, Toral y Valdés viene liberado por varios judíos que hablan castellano y que han vivido en Madrid. Lo que sigue en su autobiografía es una representación detallada y favorable de estos judíos, y mi artículo arrojará luz sobre estas subestimadas observaciones socioculturales ; Domingo de Toral y Valdés is recognized today as having written one of the last autobiographical memoir of a soldier during the height of the Spanish Empire (although it was not published until the end of the 19th century). The in-depth descriptions of military failures dominate the autobiography and, as a result, academic investigations have focused almost exclusively on those aspects. However, Toral y Valdes' unexpected ability to observe and represent non Catholics in an even-handed and positive manner has been ignored. Especially during his time in Aleppo, where he was detained as a spy by Ottoman authorities, Toral y Valdés is eventually liberated through the intervention of Jews who speak Spanish and who have lived recently in Madrid. What follows in his autobiography is a detailed, favorable representation of the Jews of Aleppo, and my article will shed light on this undervalued cultural aspect of the work
