Biography
Francisco de Sa de Miranda was born on August 28, 1491 in the Portuguese town of Coimbra; came from a noble Portuguese clan Sá , the elder brother of Brazil’s Governor-General Mem di Sa. He studied at the college at the Monastery of the Holy Cross in his hometown, then continued his education by entering the University of Coimbra .
From his youth, he became widely known as the author of small Spanish national songs-romances ( romancero ) [3] .
In 1521, he went to Italy to meet with writers of the Renaissance, then in 1526 he went from there to Spain for the same purpose.
Upon his return (in 1526 or 1527) to Portugal, Sa de Miranda became the founder of the new Italian school of poetry or the so-called Petrarquistas school. The first experience in this direction was made by him in 1528, when he released his " Fábula do Mondego " in the form of a canzone written in eleven- figure verse. Following this, his sonnets , epistles, tercins and idylls appeared in octaves and other Italian stanzas, partly in Portuguese , partly in Spanish , as he was fluent in both languages [4] .
At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries , the following lines were written on the pages of the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary : “The poetry of Sa de Miranda, despite its foreign form, is distinguished by its purely national character, which is especially evident in his letters (“ Cartas “ ) and in two quite popular Portuguese “Eglogas“. And in dramatic poetry, Sa de Miranda became an innovator, but his two moral-dramatic dramas, Os Estrangeiros and Os Vilhalpanda, written in prose in the classical Italian style, turned out to be inconsistent with Spanish-Portuguese tastes and found few imitators [4] . "
According to some art historians, it is the work of Sa de Miranda that opens the classical age in Portuguese poetry . In Spanish literature, his contribution is not so significant, but nevertheless very noticeable [4] .
The exact date of the death of Francisco de Sa de Miranda has not been established, it is only known that he died in Tapad not earlier than May 17, 1558.
The first collection of works of Sa de Miranda was published in 1595 in the city of Lisbon . Later, his works were reprinted many times [4] .
