About this book
A History of Spanish Literature is by James Fitzmaurice-Kelly. One chapter, headed The Didactic Age, 1301-1400, says only the barest mention need be made of a clerkly poem called the Vida de San Ildefonso (Life of St. Ildephonsus). The text says of Ayala that songs, legends and idle reports no longer serve as evidence, and that he sifts his testimonies, compares, counts, weighs.
The text says a treatise on falconry, rich in rarities of speech, shows the variety of the interests of the writer it discusses. The text names Martín de Ángulo y Pulgar, who published his Epístolas satisfactorias (1635) in answer to the censures of the learned Francisco de Cascales, and Pellicer, who preached the Gongoristic gospel in his Lecciones solemnes (1630). The text says that, if Hartmann be justified in his contention about the traditional names of the Magi, the Spanish Misterio can be, at best, no older than the end of the twelfth century.
