Damián Francisco García de Labra Cornejo, better known as Fray Damián Cornejo (Palencia, September 27, 1629 - Orense, April 29, 1707), religious poet, festive and erotic Spanish.
BiographySon of Mateo García de Labra, a natural Asturian of Paroro, and Catalina Cornejo, of Toledo, was born in Palencia and entered the fourteen years in the Franciscan order, in the convent of Ocaña; there and in the convent of Ciudad Real studied Philosophy; soon found himself linked to Alcala de Henares, in whose university he was professor and taught serious subjects; He was also a preacher and chronicler of his order (he composed four thick volumes with the life of St. Francis and his first disciples, a work greatly praised, reprinted and continued by other authors) and became bishop of Orense, where he died in 1707; is buried in the main chapel of the Cathedral orensana.
After his death, collections of his poetic works began, with a few sacred themes and many of the spicy, satirical or burlesque themes, perhaps composed in his youth, many attributed to Manuel León Marchante (both were known and lived in Alcalá and there are about 71 poems attributed to both). They are silvas, sonetos and tenths, not so much redondillas, quintillas and romances, of ironic style and sometimes metapoetic and parodic, and not infrequently shameless. Perhaps his masterpiece is the poem "Painting of a town where religious was asked to August" Notes Works Bibliography
