COELLO, ANTONIO (1610?-1652)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 642 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COELLO, ANTONIO (1610?-1652) , Spanish dramatist and poet, was born at Madrid about the beginning of the 17th
century
 . He entered the
household
  of the duke de Albuquerque, and after some years of service in the army received the order of Santiago in 1648. He was a favourite of Philip IV., who is reported to have collaborated with him; this rumour is not confirmed, but there is ample proof of Coello's collaboration with Calderon, Rojas Zorrilla,
Solis
  and Velez de Guevara, the most distinguished dramatists of the age. The best of his
original
  plays, Los Empenos de leis horas, has been wrongly ascribed to Calderon; it was adapted by
Samuel
 
Tuke
 , under the
title
  of The Adventures of five
Hours
 , and was described by Pepys as superior to Othello. It is an excellent example of stagecraft and animated dialogue. Coello died on the loth of October 1652, shortly after his nomination to a post in the
household
  of Philip IV.
