Juan Boscán Almogaver (1493-1542). España. Hijo de una familia noble, recibió una excelente formación humanística, vivió en la Corte de los Reyes Católicos y después en la del emperador Carlos I. En ese entorno conoció al poeta Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Boscán fue además embajador español en Italia y allí se hizo amigo de Garcilaso de la Vega. A su regreso Boscán introdujo en España el endecasílabo y las estrofas italianas (soneto, octava real, terceto encadenado, canción en estancias); el poema en endecasílabos blancos y los motivos y estructuras del Petrarquismo. Estas formas literarias fueron entonces adoptadas por Garcilaso de la Vega y Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. El endecasílabo fue junto al octosílabo el verso más usado en la lírica española y desde entonces el dodecasílabo, con un ritmo cerrado y menos flexible, fue en declive. Boscán preparó la edición de las obras de su amigo Garcilaso de la Vega junto a las suyas, pero murió antes de poder terminarla; por lo que su viuda se encargó del proyecto, que fue concluido en 1543 con el título Las obras de Boscán con algunas de Garcilaso de la Vega.

Juan Boscan Almogaver was born about 1490 in Barcelona, Spain; the son of Joan Valenti Bosca. He was a Catalan of patrician birth.
He studied under Lucio Marineo Siculo from Vizzini, Italy, who taught him the skill of translating Italian love poetry, Latin, and Greek lyrics into Spanish.
After some years of military service, he became tutor to the duke of Alva. His poems were published in 1543 at Barcelona by his widow. They are divided into sections which mark the stages of Boscan's poetical evolution. The first book contains poems in the old Castilian metres, written in his youth, before 1526, in which year he became acquainted with the Venetian ambassador, Andrea Navagiero, who urged him to adopt Italian measures, and this advice gave a new turn to Boscan's activity. The remaining books contain a number of pieces in the Italian manner, the longest of these being Hero у Leander, a poem in blank verse, based on Musaeus. Boscan's best effort, the Octava Rima, is a skilful imitation of Petrarch and Bembo. Boscan also published in 1534 an admirable translation of Castiglione's II Cortegiano. Italian measures had been introduced into Spanish literature by Santillana and Villalpando; it is Boscan's distinction to have naturalized these forms definitively, and to have founded a poetic school. The best edition of his poems is that issued at Madrid in 1875 by W. J. Knapp.
