El poeta alicantino Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo, autor de varias obras de poesía latina, algunas de ellas muy extensas, gozó de cierta fama durante los siglos XVI y XVII, tanto a nivel local como internacional. Su vida, que conoció guerra y cárcel, se desarrolló principalmente en Bélgica, y conoció la amistad del humanista Justo Lipsio, con quien mantuvo una relación epistolar. Sus obras se publicaron en tres ocasiones, pero nunca fueron estudiadas ni traducidas a una lengua moderna. Hoy se trata de un autor olvidado cuya obra merece ser recuperada. Algunas de las características de su poesía se asemejan a las de la poesía desarrollada en castellano a lo largo de los siglos XVI y XVII. ; The Alicante poet Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo, author of several works of Latin poetry, some of them very extensive, enjoyed a certain fame during the 16th and 17th centuries, both locally and internationally.
