- OLIVER Y FULLANA, NICOLÁS DE
- OLIVER Y FULLANA, NICOLÁS DE (fl. c. 1670), Marrano soldier
and writer. Born in Majorca, he pursued a military career, rising from
sergeant major in the Spanish army in Catalonia to the rank of colonel
in Flanders, where he distinguished himself in action against the
French. It was probably while in the Low Countries that Oliver y Fullana
became a Jew and took the name of Daniel Judah. Nevertheless, he still
maintained friendly relations with the Spanish military establishment in
Brussels in the 1670s. His second wife, isabel de correa , was a
poet in Amsterdam. Oliver y Fullana, who wrote in three languages,
exchanged laudatory verses with miguel de barrios . He completed a
part of the Atlas Mayor (1641) of Jan Blaeu and was
cosmographer-royal to the king of Spain.
