Juan de Fermoselle, born in 1468 in Encina (Salamanca), place where he got his nickname “Encina” or “Enzina”, was playwright, composer, musician, poet and scholar in Spain across the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Century. He’s considered one of the founders of the Iberian Profane theatre; the medieval religious drama is thus transformed into the modern humanities instances; the celebration of love, glory and beauty are the new themes, described using popular jargon elevated to the highest literary and courtier rank. His production had been collected in the “Cancionero” of 1496, Cancionero de todas las obras de Juan del Enzina, published while he was at the court of the Dukes of Alba. It is the first book that collects compositions of a single author and uses the newly developed printing technology for its publishing circulation.
