| biography:
| Poet and playwright, born in Toledo, C Spain. He was Chaplain to the Archbishop of Toledo and to the Infante Don Fernando, and a close friend of Lope de Vega. He was admired for his lengthy sacred epic, the Vida, excelencias y muerte del glorioso Patriarca, y Esposo de Nuestra Señora San Ioseph (Toledo, 1604?) and the unsuccessful heroic poem Sagrario de Toledo (1616), but he is strongest in his autos sacramentales, such as El villano en su rincón and La serrana de Plasencia, published in Doze autos sacramentales y dos comedias divinas (Toledo, 1622), but best studied in the Teatro completo. |
