Pedro Espinosa

Pedro Espinosa (Antequera, June 4, 1578 – Sanlúcar de Barrameda, October 21, 1650), was a Spanish Baroque poet and anthologist.

There he met Gonzalo Mateo de Berrío.

During a stay in Seville, he became acquainted with Juan de Arguijo.

During this period he compiled the materials for a poetic anthology titled ‘Flowers of Illustrious Poets’.

Espinosa retired to the hermitage of Magdalena (near Antequera), and in 1615 he moved to Sanlúcar de Barrameda where he became a priest and a hermit.
