Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARGENSOLA, LUPERCIO LEONARDO DE (1559-1613) , Spanish dramatist and poet, was baptized at Barbastro on the 14th of December 1559. He was educated at the universities of
Huesca
  and
Saragossa
 , becoming secretary to the duke de Villahermosa in 1585. He was appointed historiographer of Aragon in 1599, and in 16ro accompanied the
count
  de Lemos to Naples, where he died in
March
  1613. His tragediesFills, Isabela and Alejandraare said by Cervantes to have "filled all who heard them with admiration, delight and
interest
  "; Filis is lost, and Isabela and Alejandra, which were not printed till 1772, are ponderous imitations of
Seneca
 .
Argensola
 's poems were published with those of his brother in 1634; they consist of excellent translations from the Latin poets, and of
original
  satires. His " echoing sonnets "such as Despues que al mundo el rey divino vinolend themselves to parody; but his diction is singularly pure.
His brother, BARTOLOME LEONARDO DE
ARGENSOLA
  (1562-1631), Spanish poet and historian, was baptized at Barbastro on the 26th of August 1562, studied at
Huesca
 , took orders, and was presented to the rectory of Villahermosa in 1588. He was attached to the suite of the
count
  de Lemos, viceroy of Naples, in 161o, and succeeded his brother as historiographer of Aragon in 1613. He died at
Saragossa
  on the 4th of February 1631. His
principal
 
prose
  works are the Conquista de lets Islas Molucas (1609), and a supplement to Zurita's Anales de Aragon, which was published in 163o. His poems (1634), like those of his elder brother, are admirably finished examples of pungent wit. His commentaries on contemporary events, and his Alteraciones populares, dealing with a Saragossa rising in 1591, are lost. An interesting life of this writer by Father Miguel Mir precedes a reprint of the Conquista de'las Islas Molucas, issued at Saragossa in 1891.
