[183] A sonnet by Pedro de Montesdoca, El Indiano, is prefixed to Vicente Espinel's Diversas rimas (1591).
[184] A sonnet by Diego de Aguilar precedes Garcés's translation of Camões's Lusiadas: see note 68. I presume him to be the author of another prefatory sonnet in López Maldonado's Cancionero.
[185] No information is forthcoming as to Gonzalo Fernández de Sotomayor or his works.
[186] Henrique Garcés published Los sonetos y canciones del Poeta Francisco Petrarcha (Madrid, 1591), and Los Lusiadas de Luys de Camoes (Madrid, 1591).
[187] The vena inmortal of Rodrigo Fernández de Pineda does not seem to have expressed itself in print.
[188] The name of Juan de Mestanza recurs in the Viaje del Parnaso (cap. vii.).
[189] An American, so Barrera thinks: there is no trace of his writings.
[190] Another American, according to Barrera; there is no trace of his writings either.
[191] Bartolomé Cairasco de Figueroa was born at the Canaries in 1540, became Prior of the Cathedral there, and died in 1610. His Templo militante, flos santorum, y triumphos de sus virtudes was issued in four parts: (Valladolid, 1602), (Valladolid, 1603), (Madrid, 1609), and (Lisbon, 1614). Selections are given in Juan José López de Sedano's Parnaso español (Madrid, 1768-1778), vol. v., pp. 332-363, and vol. vi., pp. 191-216. Cairasco de Figueroa wrote a prefatory poem to Carranza's Libro de las grandezas de la espada: see note 47. According to the Spanish annotators of Ticknor's History, Cairasco left behind him a version (unpublished) of Ariosto's Gerusalemme.
[192] Barrera states that a sonnet by Damián de Vega is prefixed to Juan Bautista de Loyola's Viaje y naufragios del Macedonio (Salamanca, 1587). I do not know this work.
