Juan del Encina

Born: 12th July 1468, Fermoselle, Spain

Died: 1529, Toledo, Spain

Nationality: Spanish

Juan del Encina was a Spanish composer, poet, priest, and playwright, often credited as the joint-father (even "founder" or "patriarch") of Spanish drama, alongside Gil Vicente. His birth name was Juan de Fermoselle. He spelled his name Enzina, but this is not a significant difference; it is two spellings of the same sound, in a time when "correct spelling" as we know it barely existed.
