Note 209 — BOOK VI.
Herman Oelsner translation
Jaime Juan de Falcon, like Garcerán de Borja and Girón y de Rebolledo, figures in Gil Polo's Canto del Turia: see note 94. He was born in 1522 and died in 1594, having (as he believed) squared the circle. Amongst other works he published the Quadratura circuli (Valencia, 1587): his Obras poéticas latinas (Madrid, 1600) appeared posthumously.
