Abstract

In the sixteenth century, numerous works of classical authors, both Latin and Italian, were translated into the Spanish language. At that time, writers such as Dante, Petrarch and, later, Ariosto, had already become canonical models for Hispanic poets. The translations of The Divine Comedy, The Triumphs and The Frenzy of Orlando were printed profusely in the Peninsula. Many of them also included the biographies of their authors, following the custom of the old Latin and medieval commentators. In this study, the most significant lives are edited and studied.
