He died near the close! of his century. He wrote El Espejo de la Cruz (1485), and several other works of like character, still in MS., besides the great historical works on which his fame rests. His version of Josephus was finished in 1492. See Prescott, Ferdinand and Isabella, 1, 136; English Cyclop. s.v., and the literature there given.
