Aproximación a la poesía latina del alicantino Joan Treminyo (siglos XVI-XVII)

Abstract

The work of the poet Joan Treminyo from Alicante, whose life took place between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, had little impact in later centuries. However, his poetry is not without interest and deserves the attention of specialists. His poems appear in seven books published between 1612 and 1624, although there is evidence that he was already writing poetry at the end of the 16th century. His work, of a clearly religious nature and always written in Latin, is part of the intellectual environment born within the bishopric of Orihuela between 16th and 17th centuries.

La obra del poeta alicantino Joan Treminyo, cuya vida transcurre entre los siglos XVI y XVII, no tuvo apenas repercusión en los siglos posteriores. Sin embargo, su poesía no carece de interés y merece la atención de los especialistas. Sus poemas aparecen en siete libros publicados entre los años 1612 y 1640, aunque hay pruebas de que a finales dels xvi ya escribía poesía. Su obra, de caracter netamente religioso y redactada siempre en latín, forma parte del ambiente intelectual que rodeaba el obispado de Orihuela entre los siglos XVI y XVII.
