Fastiginia
1605 satirical book by Tomé Pinheiro da Veiga From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Fastiginia, written in 1605 by Portuguese author Tomé Pinheiro da Veiga, is a satirical prose in which he reports his experiences in the city of Valladolid, between April and July 1605.[1] Valladolid was then the capital of Spain and was home to the Spanish Royal family.
The full title is "Fastiginia o fastos extraordinarios sacados de la tumba de Merlín, donde fueron hallados junto a la Demanda del Santo Grial por el arzobispo D. Turpín, descubiertos y sacados a la luz por el famoso lusitano fray Pantaleón, que los encontró en un monasterio de novatos... a costa de Jaimes del Temps Perdut, comprador de libros de caballerías".
It was originally written in Portuguese in 1605, and was amplified afterwards, in 1607 and 1620; it is set in three parts: the Philipstrea, on the celebrations organized for the birthday of Philip IV of Spain; the Pratología or Baratillo cotidiano, about the manners, conversation and wit of the ladies; and the Pincigrafía or "description of Valladolid and his natural and moral history". The arrival of English ambassadors Charles Howard, count of Nottingham, and Charles Cornwallis is told in detail.
