Miguel Sánchez de Lima Portuguese poet and literary preceptor of the sixteenth century who wrote in Spanish. Biography
The figure of Miguel Sánchez de Lima, Portuguese re-created in Spain and author of the first poetic Italianate of the seventeenth century, is characterized by an absolute lack of biographical data. The memory of his name and his glory as a writer are exclusively codified in the small volume entitled "Poetic Art in Castilian Romance", printed in Alcalá de Henares in 1580, which makes him the author of the first Renaissance Castilian poetry of the sixteenth century .
Portuguese born in Vaiana or Viana de Lima and raised in Spain, he lived in the service of Don Juan Fernandez Pacheco, Marques de Villena, and was perhaps chaplain of his house as he is suspected of the moral tone of indoctrination that sounds in many passages of his work. A mediocre poet, however, he composed a famous poetic art (Alcalá, 1580), the first Castilian within the aesthetics of the Italianate Renaissance, which Miguel de Cervantes undoubtedly read, but which does not mention the popular romances in his strophe repertoire. He attacks, like the famous author of Don Quixote, books of chivalry and advocates a theater under the Aristotelian units. Works
