Excerpt from Sigma Phi Epsilon Journal, Vol. 10: December 25, 1912
The Spanish Renaissance began in a blaze of glory. It was th new birth of national life and power as well as of Spanish letters. The struggle of eight centuries was at an end, the last Moorish king dom had been taken and the Catholic Kings ruled over united Spain in the same year that Columbus gave a new world to the ungrateful coun try oi his adoption. As in England during the reign of Elizabeth, so in Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella and the House of Austria, the national literature reflected strongly the triumph of national arms and ideals. In 1499 Fernando de Rojas published his Celestina, the first epoch-making book in the history 'of Spanish literature. Adventurers flocked to the Peninsula from everywhere, lured by the golden stream which flowed from the Americas. Churchmen came to Imperial Toledo and with their splendor and their presence turned the ancient city into a second Rome, and under their patronage the great cathedrals began to be filled with treasures of art.
