Quick Summary

The Libro de la erudiciĆ³n poĆ©tica is a treatise on poetry by Luis Carrillo y Sotomayor, a Spanish poet known for his association with culteranismo. This style, which developed from gongorismo, aimed to elevate poetic language through classical allusions, vocabulary, and syntax. In his work, Carrillo y Sotomayor sought to justify these methods by advocating for the merits of obscurity in poetry. Although his life was short and his output limited, he is recognized for several fine poems, with the FĆ”bula de Acis y Galatea being his most well-known.12
