   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Ruiz, Juan (c. 1283–c. 1351)

Spanish poet, known from his clerical office as the Archpriest of Hita. His El Libro de buen amor/The Book of Good Love (written 1330–43) consists of narrative poems of varying length, interspersed with lyrical songs, fables, and stories. The poems, written in an autobiographical style, describe both successful and failed love affairs.

Little is known of his life except that he was imprisoned 1333–47 by order of the archbishop of Toledo for a breach of ecclesiastical regulations.
