Crespo de la Pinilla, Alonso (1671-1722)

Vida

Alonso Crespo García de la Pinilla fue un maestro, dramaturgo y cronista español, activo desde finales del siglo XVII y durante las dos primeras décadas del XVIII. La vida de este autor, zamorano de nacimiento, nos es bastante desconocida. Vio la luz en 1681 en el seno de una familia modesta, pero bien relacionada. No conservamos ningún dato acerca de su proceso formativo. Pasó toda su existencia en su terruño natal –bien en la capital, Zamora, bien en la cercana localidad de Morales del Vino– y se ganó la vida trabajando como maestro de primeras letras. Durante la Guerra de Sucesión española (1701-1713) apoyó al bando borbónico, con Felipe V (1683-1746, rey de España entre 1700 y 1745) a la cabeza. Tras una serie de reveses que lo sumieron en la pobreza, nuestro protagonista falleció en Zamora, en 1671, a la temprana edad de 51 años.
El trabajo filológico del zamorano fue escaso y nunca llegó a las prensas. La Biblioteca Nacional de España atesora un manuscrito suyo, fechado en 1709, bajo el título de Filomena española, desagravios ortográficos de su bárbara injuria. En él, mediante un diálogo escrito en estilo indirecto, protagonizado por el dios Mercurio, la ninfa Filomena, un joven extranjero y dos maestros –Urbano, el más veterano, y Posidonio, con menos experiencia; que terminarán por convertirse en protagonistas– se indaga en el origen de la lengua española (en especial, sobre sus características ortográficas), y se hace hincapié mediante múltiples citas eruditas en aquello que, a ojos de su autor, merecía ser corregido. Este texto, que hace un recorrido por la historia de todas las letras del alfabeto latino, es eminentemente didáctico, y debió ser compuesto como un manual complementario destinado a sus alumnos. En sus páginas, se trasluce el apoyo de su autor al nuevo rey Felipe V.
