POEMS BY JUAN RUÍZ:

JUAN RUÍZ was the Archpriest of Hita, in the neighborhood of Guadalajara. It is conjectured that he was born in 1283. His ecclesiastical superiors found it necessary to imprison and degrade him. He is a poet of peculiarly personal character, strangely akin in spirit to the French poet François Villon. His Libro de buen Amor (The Book of Good Love) is to be found in the Biblioteca de autores castellanos (vol. lvii).
