Ruiz
JUAN (rö-ēth') a Spanish poet of the 14th century, known as "Archpriest of Hita"; born in Alcala or Guadalajara in 1300. He is the most original of mediæval Spanish poets, and has left a poem on love and women which is in reality a text-book for the man who wishes to become a successful lover. It is interspersed with songs, the best of which are the "Song of Scholars" and "Song of the Blind." He died about 1351.
