Life

Little is known of him save that he was of Jewish origin. The ''Coplas de Migo Revulgo'', the ''Coplas del Provincial'', and the first act of ''La Celestina'' have been ascribed to him on insufficient grounds. He is undoubtedly the author of the ''Diálogo entre el amor y un viejo'', a striking dramatic poem first printed in the ''Cancionero general'' of 1511, and of a burlesque epithalamium written in 1472 or later. He abjured Judaism about the year 1497, and is believed to have died shortly afterwards.
