Wikipedia description:
Silvestre de Balboa Troya Quesada (June 30, 1563 – c. 1644) was a writer from the Canary Islands, considered to be the writer of the first literary text in Cuba. Very little information is known of him, among which is his baptism certificate dated in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, June 30, 1563. Hidalgo, of the gentry, notes that he arrived in Cuba between 1590 and 1600. It is known that in 1604 that he was in the city of Manzanillo, but later settled in the village of Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe, current Camagüey province, where he was confirmed as clerk of the council.
