Mateo Alemán
Aleman is sometimes used to refer to
German. Mateo Alemán y de Enero (
Seville,
Spain, 1547 – 1615? in
Mexico) was a
Spanish novelist and man of letters.He graduated at
Seville University in 1564, studied later at
Salamanca and
Alcalá, and from 1571 to 1588 held a post in the treasury; in 1594 he was arrested on suspicion of
malversation, but was speedily released. He was descended from Jews forcibly converted to Catholicism after 1492, and one of his forebears had been burned by the
Inquisition for secretly continuing to practice Judaism. In 1599, he published the first part of Guzmán de Alfarache, a celebrated
picaresque novel which passed through not less than sixteen editions in five years; a spurious sequel was issued in 1602, but the authentic continuation did not appear until 1604.
