Note 161 — BOOK VI.
Herman Oelsner translation
Cristóbal Mosquera de Figueroa was born in 1553 and died in 1610. He is best known as the author of a Comentario en breve compendio de disciplina militar (Madrid, 1596) for which Cervantes wrote a sonnet on the famous Marqués de Santa Cruz. Specimens of Mosquera de Figueroa's verse are to be found in Herrera's edition of Garcilaso.
