JUAN RUÍZ
was the Archpriest of Hita, in the neighborhood of Guadalajara.
It is conjectured that he was born in 1283. His ecclesiastical
superiors found it necessary to imprison and degrade him. He
is a poet of peculiarly personal character, strangely akin in
spirit to the French poet François
Villon. His Libro de buen Amor (The Book of Good
Love) is to be found in the Biblioteca de autores castellanos
(vol. lvii). |
