Vicente Espinel (1550?–1634)
Espinel, Vicente (es-pē-nel’). A Spanish poet and musician (1550?–1634). He was in great favor in society from his musical talent, and among poets for inventing a new form of stanza. His ‘Rhymes’ were published in 1591. He wrote a picturesque romance, ‘Life of the Esquire Marcos de Obregon,’ from which Lesage was accused of plagiarizing ‘Gil Blas.’
