About the Book

As a court poet Manrique authored many songs, but what is truly remarkable about Jorge Manrique lies in his Coplas, written after the death of his father, Rodrigo. In them, Manrique manages to convey in simple but beautiful verses a sincere and genuine grief and, simultaneously, a deep philosophical reflection. Las copas collects poems addressed to his dead father as well as some reflect on death in a more universal way.


About the Author: Jorge Manrique (1440?-1479). Espana. No hay total certeza sobre el lugar y la fecha de su nacimiento. Se afirma que nacio en Paredes de Nava (Palencia), aunque es tambien posible que lo hiciese en Segura de la Sierra (Jaen). Tambien se dice que nacio entre la segunda mitad de 1439 y la primera de 1440. Lo que es seguro es que continuo la actividad politica y militar de su extensa familia castellana: como sus demas parientes, fue partidario de combatir a los musulmanes y tambien participo en las intrigas y luchas en torno a la subida al trono de los Reyes Catolicos. Su padre, Rodrigo Manrique, conde de Paredes de Nava, que era maestre de la Orden de Santiago, fue uno de los hombres mas poderosos de su epoca. Su madre murio cuando era apenas un nino. La familia de los Manrique de Lara era una de las mas antiguas familias nobles de Espana y poseia algunos de los titulos mas importantes de Castilla, como el ducado de Najera, el condado de Trevino y el marquesado de Aguilar de Campo, asi como varios cargos eclesiasticos. Manrique estudio humanidades, recibio formacion como militar castellano;y se caso en 1470 con la hermana de su madrasta, dona Guiomar. A los veinticuatro anos combatio en el asedio del castillo de Montizon, donde gano prestigio como guerrero. Estuvo preso en Baza cuando intentaba tomar dicha ciudad contra los benavides. Se enrolo despues en las tropas de Isabel y Fernando en la guerra contra los partidarios de Juana la Beltraneja. Y fue herido de muerte en una escaramuza en las inmediaciones del castillo de Garcimunoz, en Cuenca, defendido por el marques de Villena. Algunos cronistas de la epoca como Hernando del Pulgar y Alonso de Palencia afirman que murio en la misma pelea, ante los muros del castillo, y otros que fue poco despues. Rades de Andrada indica que entre sus pertenencias fueron halladas dos coplas que comienzan Oh mundo!, pues que me matas. Su obra ha sido interpretada como un canto de despedida del renacimiento a la edad media. Es considerado el primer poeta de la Espana moderna, y el ultimo de los medievales. En este libro se reunen sus poemas mas conocidos como las Coplas a la muerte de mi padre que lo haria tan celebre.
