JUAN JOSE See also:MARTI (157o?-1604) , See also:Spanish novelist, was See also:born at See also:Orihuela (See also:Valencia) about 1570 . He graduated as See also:bachelor of See also:canon See also:law at Valencia in 1591, and in 1598 took his degree as See also:doctor of canon law; in the latter See also:year he was appointed co-examiner in canon law at Valencia University, and held the See also:post for six years . He died at Valencia, and was buried in the See also:cathedral of that See also:city on the 22nd of See also:December 1604 . See also:Marti joined the Valencian Academia de los nocturnos, under the name of " Atrevimiento," but is best known by another See also:pseudonym, Mateo Lujan de Sayavedra, under which he issued an apocryphal continuation (16o2) of See also:Aleman's Guzm:n de Alfarache (1599) . Marti obtained See also:access to Aleman's unfinished See also:manuscript, and See also:stole some of his ideas; this dishonesty lends point to the sarcastic congratulations which Aleman, in the genuine sequel (1604) pays to his See also:rival's sallies: " I greatly envy them, and should be proud that they were mine.' Marti's See also:book is See also:clever, but the circumstances in which it was produced See also:account for its See also:cold reception and afford presumption that the best scenes are not See also:original . It has been suggested that Marti is identical with Avellaneda, the writer of a See also:spurious continuation (1614) to See also:Don Quixote; but he died before the first See also:part of Don Quixote was published (1605) . |
