Everything about Francisco Delicado totally explained
Francisco Delicado (or
Delgado) (c.
1480 – c.
1535) was a
Spanish writer and editor of the
Renaissance. Little is known about his life. He was born in
Cordoba, Spain and, by uncertain reasons, he moved to
Rome, where he became vicar and Italianized his surname to
Delicado. After the
sack of Rome, he went to
Venice where he wrote his novel (
El retrato de la Loçana Andaluza,
1528), that continues on the lines of the
dialogued novel as
Celestina. The book is a social and historical portrait of Rome and its dark side in the first years of the
16th century, and one of the first works of the
picaresque novel. He was also a disciple of
Antonio de Nebrija (who wrote the first extensive work on
Spanish language grammar) and editor of books such as
Amadis de Gaula (
1533),
Celestina (
1531-
1534),
Primaleon (
1534) and some medical treatises like
El modo de adoperare el legno de India (about the use of
leño de Indias in the treatment of
syphilis) and
De consolatione infirmorum (a work that's only mentioned at the end of
Portrait of Lozana but of which no copies are known).He himself suffered of syphilis.
His favourable portrait of Jews has led some to suspect that he was a
Converso.
