Abstract

Monsignor Juan Caramuel, doctor universalis, built ingenious and multifaceted poetic machines not only to automate literary creation but also to multiply it. He called such poetic machines Labyrinths, “metric schemes” or even Ideae. These machines are the compositions that close the Apollos and the Muses of Metametrica (1663), a rhetorical treatise dedicated to a homonymous science. To whose invention he attributes himself. In this article, we analyze the functioning of these poetic machines and their place in the history of baroque ideas.
