RODRIGO COTA DE MAGUAQUE (d. c. 1498), Spanish poet, who flourished towards the end of the 15th century, was born at Toledo. Little is known of him save that he was of Jewish origin. The Coplas de Mingo Revulgo, the Coplas del Provincial, and the first act of the Celestina have been ascribed to him on insufficient grounds. He is undoubtedly the author of the Dialog() entre el amor y un viejo, a striking dramatic poem first printed in the Cancionero general of 1511, and of a burlesque epithalamium written in 1472 or later. He abjured Judaism about the year 1 497, and is believed to have died shortly afterwards.

See "Epithalame burlesque," edited by R. Foulche-Delbosc, in the Revue hispanique (Paris, 1894), i. 69-72; A. Bonilla, y San Martin, Anales de la literatura espaiiola (Madrid, 1904), pp. 164-167.
