See also:MENDOZA, See also:ANTONIO HURTADO DE (1593?-1644) , See also:Spanish dramatist, was See also:born about the end of the 16th See also:century in the See also:province of See also:Asturias, became See also:page to the See also:count de Saldana (son of the See also:duke de See also:Lerma), and was recognized as a rising poet by Cervantes in the Viaje del Parnaso (1614). He See also:rose rapidly into favour under See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip IV., who appointed him private secretary, commissioned from him comedias palaciegas for the royal See also:theatre at See also:Aranjuez, and in 1623 conferred on him the orders of See also:Santiago and Calatrava. Most of his contemporaries and rivals paid See also:court to " el discreto de palacio," and Mendoza seems to have lived on the friendliest terms with all his See also:brother-dramatists except See also:Ruiz de See also:Alarcon. He is said to have been involved in the fall of See also:Olivares, and died unexpectedly at See also:Saragossa on the ,9th of See also:September 1644.

The best edition of Mendoza's plays and verses bears the See also:title of Obras liricas y c6micas, divinas y humanas (1728). Much of his See also:work does not rise above the level of graceful and accomplished See also:verse; but that he had higher qualities is shown by El Marido hate mujer, a brilliant See also:comedy of See also:manners, which forms the See also:chief source of See also:Moliere's Ecole See also:des marts.
The Fiesta que se hizo en Aranjuez and Querer por solo querer were translated into See also:English by See also:Sir See also:Richard See also:Fanshawe, afterwards See also:ambassador at See also:Madrid, in a See also:posthumous volume published in 1671.
