History of Spanish and Portuguese Literature (Vol 1 of 2)

Note 225 — FIRST SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Introduction of the Italian Style to the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega.

Thomasina Ross translation

There is a life of Luis de Leon, prefixed to the latest edition of his Obras propias y traducciones (Valencia, 1762, 8vo.) by Mayans y Siscar; it is, however, confusedly and carelessly written. The biographical memoir prefixed to the sixth volume of the Parnaso Español is better.
