Maurophile narratives reached print only by riding on respectable companion works.

Evidence

It is probably not a matter of chance that the pattern of what I would call piggyback publication inaugurated by the Abencerraje story and the Diana was repeated in almost every case for these “Morisco” novels. By that I mean that the “Maurophile” narrative rides on the back of some other work of unimpeachable acceptability and is conveyed to the public in that way. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 954
