Damianus Cornejo (Damián Francisco García de Labra Cornejo, 1629-1707)

Damianus Cornejo (Damián Francisco García de Labra Cornejo, 1629-1707) OFM. Spanish friar. Born in Palencia as the son of Mateo García de Labra de Paroro and Catalina Cornejo de Toledo. Entered the order at the age of 14 in the Ocaña friary (Castille province). Subsequently studies of philosophy and theology in the study houses of Ciudad Real and Alcalá de Henares. Professor of theology at the university of Alcala de Henares, as well as preacher and order chronicles/hagiographer. Guardian of the convent of S. Diego de Alcalá in 1673. He was appointed bishop of Orense, and died in office on 29 April 1707. He wrote a number of hagiographical works, but is best known for his poetic works, many of which were collected and issued after his death. Some of these poetic works, which varied in form style, had an erotic or at least a burlesque satyrical quality. In the past a number of these poems were ascribed to Manuel León Marchante who was, in fact, a friend of Damián, and it seems that a number of poems were a joined production.
