Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Printed sonnet by Don Joseph Cañizares, Theniente de Cavallos Corazas, in praise of Phelipe de Medrano, featured in the prefatory section of Quadrados mágicos (Madrid, 1744). The poem links Medrano to the classical lineage of Socrates, Plato, and Pythagoras, and concludes with the celebrated couplet: “Mi débil Arithmetica harmonia / Si empezase a medrar, es por Medrano” (“If my weak Arithmetic begins to prosper, it is because of Medrano”). This poetic tribute is a central historical source affirming the Medrano family's symbolic association with the Spanish verb medrar (“to advance, improve”).
