writers of verse, as a glance at the Cancioneros of Baena,
Castillo, Estufiiga,
and a number of other early
collections,
both printed and manuscript, will show. That these were

He then speaks of the Marquis of Santillana (died in 1458), as though he
too were already dead.
Perhaps much faith cannot be put in the words
of the Toledan Doctor, who says, on the next page that Gomez Manrique
(born 1415) is beginning to write verses, and that if time spare him, he
will equal the poets already named. Supposing that this was even no later
than 1458, it will be seen that Don Gomez must have courted the muse
