COTA DE MAGUAQUE, RODRIGO DE
- COTA DE MAGUAQUE, RODRIGO DE
- COTA DE MAGUAQUE, RODRIGO DE (fl. 1470), Spanish Converso
poet. He was related to Diego Arias de Avila, the chief paymaster of
Castile. Probably in the 1480s, Cota de Maguaque, incensed at not being
invited to an Arias family wedding, wrote an Epitalamio
("Epithalamium") satirizing the groom. This contains many allusions to
Jewish customs of the period. Cota de Maguaque was not content merely to
convert. He felt or feigned hatred toward his former coreligionists, and
sided with the "Old Christians" in their persecution of the Conversos.
This animosity inspired the bitter satire directed against him by
Antón de Montoro\>\> . Cota de Maguaque was long credited,
erroneously, with the authorship of many important
15th-century Spanish poems. There is no doubt, however, about
his composition of the Diálogo entre el amor y un viejo, the
deep humanity of which is in marked contrast to the superficiality and
artificiality of the poetry of the period.
