Note 191 — BOOK VI.
Herman Oelsner translation
Bartolomé Cairasco de Figueroa was born at the Canaries in 1540, became Prior of the Cathedral there, and died in 1610. His Templo militante, flos santorum, y triumphos de sus virtudes was issued in four parts: (Valladolid, 1602), (Valladolid, 1603), (Madrid, 1609), and (Lisbon, 1614). Selections are given in Juan José López de Sedano's Parnaso español (Madrid, 1768-1778), vol. v., pp. 332-363, and vol. vi., pp. 191-216. Cairasco de Figueroa wrote a prefatory poem to Carranza's Libro de las grandezas de la espada: see note 47. According to the Spanish annotators of Ticknor's History, Cairasco left behind him a version (unpublished) of Ariosto's Gerusalemme.
