PEREZ, Pedl'0 Ildefonso, Mexican poet, born in Merida, Yucatan, 23 January, 1826: died there, 21 February, 1869. After he had acquired a primary education he abandoned his studies on account of poverty, and accepted an employment in the public administration, where he gave his spare time to literature and poetry. He became an enthusiastic admirer of the Spanish poet Zorrilla, and soon began to imitate him. His first works were known only by the friends of the poet, but some years afterward they were published in the "Registro Yucateco." In 1849 Perez was one of the founders of the Academy of sciences and literature, before which he read his work " Los Martires de la Independencia," which was published in the "Mosaico," a literary paper. In 1856 he contributed to the formation of another literary paper, "Pensamiento," in which he published several of his best works. He also wrote "La Ida del Sol," "A Ticfil," "A Tunkas," "El Prisma de la Vida," "El Contrabandista," a tragedy, and other compositions, which were published in 1848 in the satirical paper " Don Bullebulle." He was a member of the government council and comptroller of the treasury of his native state when he died. A collection of his works has been published (Merida, 1885).
