Same dates?[edit]

From my elementary History lessons, I remember that literary splendor comes with military and political dimming. Actually, one of Quevedo's themes is how decadent is Spain. --Error 01:11, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Point 1 and 2 are actually the same: 16th and 17th centuries. El Siglo de Oro is the name for a period which in fact took two centuries. It includes both the rise and the dimming of the Spain's political power. In the field of arts it includes both the rennaisance (16th century - arrived late in Spain) and the baroque (17th).--Rataube 07:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Americas[edit]

I see that someone has removed "and the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America". What about Sor Juana? What about the founding of the University of San Marcos in Lima? - Jmabel | Talk 06:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect?[edit]

Seeing as points 1 and 2 describe the same thing, it needs only to be ascertained whether or not scholarship ever calls the Jewish Golden Age siglo de oro before we can redirect this to Spanish Golden Age or move that article to this title. So, does anybody know: is the Jewish Golden Age commonly called the Siglo de Oro [Judío]? Srnec 01:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A disambiguation page with only two links is really unnecessary. These two main articles are already linked to each other using hatnotes. I recommend that the text of this page be deleted and Siglo de Oro become a redirect to Spanish Golden Age, since that article uses and explains the term. A user looking for the other article will find it immediately in the hatnote. Anyone disagree? SlackerMom 16:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
