| biography:
| Poet and satirist, born in Colmenar de Oreja, Madrid, Spain. He became an Augustinian monk in 1768, and in 1772 went to Salamanca, where he became a disciple of Fray Diego Tadeo González and, like his mentor, a member of the Parnaso Salmantino, taking the poetic name of Liseno. He was influenced by Cadalso in his anacreontic and bucolic poetry. Little has been published, but a few have been edited by P Conrado Muiños for La Ciudad de Dios: the manuscripts are in the Augustinian College in Valladolid. He is best known for his prose satire on the encyclopaedists, Crotalogía, o arte de tocar las castañuelas (1792), published under the pseudonym Francisco Agustín Florencio. He answered attacks in Impugnación literaria de la Crotalogía, using the pseudonym Juanito López Polinario. His other work was an edition of the Poesías of Fray Diego Tadeo González (1796). |
