Juan del Encina (1469-ca. 1533), often known as a founder of Spanish drama, was born around 1469 touching Salamanca, probably at Enemas. In allowing a University of Salamanca he became a member of the home of the 2nd Duke of Alva. Inside 1492 a poet entertained his patron with the striking piece, the Triunfo delaware la fama, written to commemorate a fall of Granada. Around 1496 he published his Cancionero, a collection of striking & lyrical poems. A few years subsequently he visited Rome, attracted the attention of Pope Alexander VI by his skill in music, and was appointed cantor. Just about 1518 Encinthe took holy orders, & manufactured a pilgrim's journey to Jerusalem, where he said his number one mass. Since 1509 he had held the lay canonry at Malaga; in 1519 he was appointed prior of Léon and is said to have died at Salamanca astir 1533. His Cancionero is preceded by the prose treatise (Arte diamond state trobar) on the trouble of the poetic art within Spain. His 14 spectacular pieces mark a transition from either a strictly ecclesiastical to the secular stage. A Aucto del Repelón & a Égloga delaware Fileno dramatize a dangerous undertaking of shepherds; the latter, prefer Pládcida y Vitoriano, is strongly influenced per Celestina. A intrinsical interest of Encina's plays is cold-shoulder, however it is significant from either a historical point of review, for the lay pieces form a recently departure, & the devout eclogues prepare a way for the autos of the 17th century. What is more, Encina's lyrical verse form come remarkable for their acute sincerity & devout grace.
