Juan del Encina

Juan del Encina (July 12, 1468 – 1529/1530) was a composer, poet, priest, and playwright,: 535  often credited as the joint-father (even “founder” or “patriarch”) of Spanish drama, alongside Gil Vicente. His birth name was Juan de Fermoselle. He spelled his name Enzina, but this is not a significant difference; it is two spellings of the same sound, in a time when “correct spelling” as we know it barely existed.
