Biography

Espinel was born in Ronda. He studied at the University of Salamanca, where he adopted as his own his father's second surname, and later on at the universities of Granada and Alcalá. As a latinist, he translated to Spanish Horace's Epistola ad Pisones.

After leaving university, he had an adventurous life as a soldier, serving in Flanders[1] and elsewhere. He was a prisoner of pirates at Argel and a soldier in Italy after being liberated, and returned to Spain about 1584. Afterwards, he moved to Madrid and took holy orders in 1589. Four years later he became chaplain at Ronda, but absented himself from his living. Still, his musical skill obtained for him the post of choirmaster at Plasencia.[1]

His Diversas Rimas (Assorted Rhymes), produced in 1591, showed a caustic wit.[1] Later, in 1618, the printer Juan de la Cuesta published Espinel's picaresque novel Relaciones de la vida del escudero Marcos de Obregón, for which he is best known. This book, with several autobiographical details, was printed in France the same year and inspired later Lesage's Gil Blas de Santillana. Espinel also revived the measure known as décimas or espinelas, consisting of a stanza of ten octosyllabic lines.[1]

Lope de Vega, who referred to Espinel as his teacher, dedicated him El caballero de Illescas (1602). Espinel also befriended Cervantes, Góngora (whose poetry he helped to publish) and Quevedo. Like his friends, he was a member of congregation Esclavos del Santísimo Sacramento. At the time of his death, he was the chaplain at Madrid, and also the music teacher of the Plasencia bishop.

His bust can be found in Ronda, the city of his birth, in the small Plaza de los Gigantes. His head is decorated with a laurel wreath.

Vicente Gómez Martínez Espinel (Ronda, Málaga, 28 de diciembre de 1550 - Madrid, 4 de febrero de 1624) fue un sacerdote, escritor y músico español del Siglo de Oro, autor de una novela picaresca, la Vida del escudero Marcos de Obregón (1618). A partir de sus Diversas rimas de 1591, transformó la estructura de la décima, estrofa conocida también como espinela en su homenaje. En la música se hizo famoso por dar a la guitarra su quinta cuerda, añadiendo una cuerda más grave a las cuatro ya existentes en aquel momento. En su memoria, el primer Instituto de Bachillerato de la provincia de Málaga, situado en la calle Gaona de dicha ciudad, lleva su nombre desde 1956.[1]
