| Spanish grammarian and man of letters, born in Murcia, SE Spain. He was a teacher of Spanish, interpreter to Henri IV, and tutor to the Dauphin, later Louis XIII; he spent some time away from the court and Paris, teaching Spanish in Rouen, but returned to the capital in 1615 as secretary to Anne of Austria.
