See also:MANRIQUE, JORGE (1440?-1478) , See also:Spanish poet and soldier, was See also:born probably at Paredes de Nava. The See also:fourth son of Rodrigo Manrique, See also:count de Paredes, he became like the See also:rest of his See also:family a fervent See also:partisan of See also:Queen See also:Isabel, served with See also:great distinction in many engagements, and was made comendador of Montiz&n in the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of See also:Santiago. He was killed in a skirmish near the fortress' of Garci-Mufloz in 1478, and was buried in the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church attached to the See also:convent of tides. His love-songs, satires, and See also:acrostic verses . are merely ingenious compositions in the See also:taste of his See also:age; he owes his imperishable renown to a single poem, the Coplas per la muerte de su padre, an See also:elegy of See also:forty stanzas on the See also:death of his See also:father, which was apparently first printed in the Cancionero llamade de Fray Ingo- de See also:Mendoza about the See also:year 1482. There is no See also:foundation for the theory that Manrique See also:drew his See also:inspiration from an Arabic poem by See also:Abu 'l-See also:Baku Sslih ar-Rundi; the See also:form of the Copies is influenced by the Consejos of his See also:uncle, See also:Gomez Manrique, and the See also:matter derives from the See also:Bible, from Boethius and from other See also:sources readily accessible. The great sonorous See also:common-places on death are vitalized by the intensely See also:personal grief of the poet, who See also:- LENT (0. Eng. lenclen, " spring," M. Eng. lenten, lente, lent; cf. Dut. lente, Ger. Lenz, " spring," 0. H. Ger. lenzin, lengizin, lenzo, probably from the same root as " long " and referring to " the lengthening days ")
lent a new solemnity and significance to thoughts which had been for centuries the common See also:property of mankind. It was given to Jorge Manrique to have one single moment of See also:sublime expression, and this isolated achievement has won him a fame undimmed by any See also:change of taste during four centuries.
The best edition of the Coplas is that issued by R. Foulche-Delbosc in the Bibliothece hispanica; the poem has been admirably translated by See also:Longfellow. Manrique's other verses were mostly printed in Hernando del See also:Castillo's Cancionero See also:general (1511).
