MARTI, JUAN JOSE (157o?-1604)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 788 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARTI, JUAN JOSE (157o?-1604) , Spanish novelist, was born at
Orihuela
  (Valencia) about 1570. He graduated as
bachelor
  of
canon
  law at Valencia in 1591, and in 1598 took his degree as
doctor
  of
canon
  law; in the latter year he was appointed co-examiner in canon law at Valencia University, and held the post for six years. He died at Valencia, and was buried in the
cathedral
  of that city on the 22nd of December 1604. Marti joined the Valencian Academia de los nocturnos, under the name of " Atrevimiento," but is best known by another pseudonym, Mateo Lujan de Sayavedra, under which he issued an apocryphal continuation (16o2) of Aleman's Guzm:n de Alfarache (1599). Marti obtained access to Aleman's unfinished
manuscript
 , and
stole
  some of his ideas; this dishonesty lends point to the sarcastic congratulations which Aleman, in the genuine sequel (1604) pays to his rival's sallies: " I greatly envy them, and should be proud that they were mine.' Marti's book is clever, but the circumstances in which it was produced account for its cold reception and afford presumption that the best scenes are not
original
 .
It has been suggested that Marti is identical with Avellaneda, the writer of a spurious continuation (1614) to Don Quixote; but he died before the first
part
  of Don Quixote was published (1605).
