| biography:
| Poet, soldier, and diplomat, who took part in the conquest of Granada and was Spanish ambassador at Rome. Some of his shorter poems were collected by Hernando del Castillo in his Cancionero (1511), edited in 1882 (2 vols) for the Sociedad de Bibliófilos Españoles. Others appear in R Foulché-Delbosc's Cancionero castellano del siglo XV, in the Biblioteca de Autores Españoles (NBAE, Vol. 22, 1915) with a pedestrian verse dialogue Entre la Razón y el Pensamiento. The library of the Real Academia de la Historia possesses a 1000-line poem by López de Haro, Aviso para cuerdos, in the form of a dialogue between the writer and a series of historical or mythical characters (Christ, Muhammad, Julius Caesar, Adam, and Eve). |
