Vicente Espinel, in full Vicente Gómez Martínez-Espinel, lived from 1550 to 1624 and was a Spanish writer and musician of the Siglo de Oro, the Spanish Golden Age. He is credited with creating the modern poetic form of the décima, a stanza of ten octosyllabic lines, which is called the espinela in Spanish after him. The source lead is brief, so this entry records only his dates, his dual standing as writer and musician, his place in the Golden Age and his association with the décima.
