In this research we investigate the efficiency of the use of software specially developed to proceed lexicographic and stylographic analyses to determine authorship of texts written by unknown authors. The software used was the LEXICO3 and the object of the research was Cartas Chilenas. At first, the purpose was to use the method proposed by Peng and Hangartner, counting the number of functional lexicons that appeared in each poem and compare the numbers with those collected from poems that were signed by the possible authors of the satiric verses. The result turned out to be unstable and not conclusive, but some other numbers appeared showing a pattern much more stable and that suggested that Cartas Chilenas was written by many hands what makes the task of identification very difficult if not impossible.
