A GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SPANISH HISTORY

BASED ON THE WORKS QUOTED, CITED, OR CONSULTED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE PRESENT HISTORY; WITH CRITICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

To _Alfonso X_, known as the Learned, Spanish language and
literature owe an enormous debt. He was the first to take the
Castilian tongue, as the official language, and he made use of
it in his own writings. Numerous are the literary works which
bear his name and were, some written by him, some compiled
under his direction. The chief that concern us here are of two
classes, historical and legislative. Of the former class the
principal is the _Estoria de Espanna_ or _Crónica general_.
There is a dispute as to how much of this was written by
Alfonso himself. Some authorities credit him with the whole.
It extends from the creation to Alfonso’s own accession and is
based partly on older histories, partly on tradition and poetic
legends of which it is a perfect storehouse. Of the _Siete
Partidas_, which belong to the second class and were called
by Alfonso _El Setenario_, Ticknor says that they “do not
always read like a collection of statutes.... They often seem
rather to be a series of treatises on legislation, morals, and
religion divided with great formality into Parts, Titles, and
Laws.”

_Abul-Abbas Ahmad ibn Mohammed Al Makkari_, the Arab historian,
was born about 1585 at Tlemcen in Algeria. About 1620 he
settled at Cairo, having been exiled from his own country,--why
is not known. His history was undertaken in response to a
request from his friends at Damascus who had been deeply
interested by the oral descriptions of the doings of the
Spanish Arabs with which he had entertained them when on a
visit to Damascus in 1628. He died in 1631.

writer of this brief historical summary wrote in the twelfth
century.

=Annales Toledanos=, in Flórez’s España Sagrada.

_Nicolás Antonio_ was born at Seville in 1617, and educated
there and at the university of Salamanca. He afterwards
returned to Seville where he drew on the treasures of the
library of the monastery of San Benito in the composition of
his _Bibliotheca Hispana_ which forms a literary history, the
first part of which extends to 1500, the second (which appeared
in 1672) to 1670. In 1654 Philip IV sent Antonio to Rome as his
general agent. He afterwards filled the office of agent to the
Spanish Inquisition. He died in 1684.

_Pedro López de Ayala_, celebrated as knight, poet, and
historian, was born in 1332, and died in 1407. He entered the
service of Pedro the Cruel of Castile and sided with the king
in the latter’s earlier struggles with his revolted brothers
and nobles, distinguishing himself chiefly by his exploits on
the sea. When King Pedro was driven out by his brother Henry
of Trastamara, Ayala joined Henry. He was taken prisoner by
the English at Navarrete, but afterwards ransomed. Under Henry
II and Juan II he filled important offices. At the Battle of
Aljubarrota he was captured by the Portuguese and released only
on payment of an enormous ransom. Translations from Isidore of
Seville, Boccaccio, Titus Livius, etc., are among his writings
as well as a treatise on the duties of kings and nobles, called
_El Rimado de Palacio_, but the chief of his works is the
_Crónicas_. This is written with elegance and simplicity of
style and much skill in delineation of character. He is accused
of unduly blackening the character of King Pedro.

_Cæsar Baronius_, the great ecclesiastical historian, was born
in the kingdom of Naples in 1538, and died at Rome, 1607. His
_Annales Ecclesiastici_ were written as an answer on behalf
of the Church of Rome to the Protestant history called the
_Magdeburg Centuries_. Baronius became a cardinal in 1596 and

_Hermann Baumgarten_ was born at Lesse in Brunswick in 1825,
and between the years 1842 and 1848 studied philology and
history at no less than five universities, namely Jena, Halle,
Leipsic, Bonn, and Göttingen. He then became a teacher in
the gymnasium at Brunswick, and from 1850-1852 was editor of
the _Reichszeitung_ in that city. But in 1852 he resumed his
historical studies at Heidelberg and subsequently at Munich.
Here he was associated with the starting of the _Süddeutschen
Zeitung_. In 1861 he became professor of history and literature
at the Karlsruhe Polytechnicum and in 1872 in the university of
Strasburg. His works include various political writings, but
those on Spanish history here cited are his chief title to fame.

Diego de Deza. He was present at many of the scenes he
describes and acquainted with many of the great men of his
day, including Columbus. He shows considerable knowledge of
foreign affairs, and gives many details not reported by his
contemporaries.

Completion retarded by the death of Cánovas.

The statesman, _Antonio Cánovas del Castillo_, was born in
Malaga in 1828 and was the son of a professor in the naval
college of San Telmo. He was not eighteen when he attempted
to start a periodical called _la Jóven Malaga_, but it failed
and he had to accept a small post on the Madrid Aranjuez
railway. But he soon turned again to journalism and published
his first and chief historical work. Cánovas is credited with
a considerable share in a periodical called _El Murciélago_,
of which only a few numbers appeared, but in which the most
violent attacks were directed against various prominent persons
not excluding royalty. Cánovas was credited with a considerable
share in this as well as with the authorship of the manifesto
of Manzanares (1854). He now entered the cortes and filled
various offices of state in succession. He held aloof from the
revolution of 1868 and during the reign of King Amadeo, though
he made a brilliant speech in defence of the exiled sovereigns;
but after Amadeo’s retirement he was chiefly instrumental in
bringing about the return of Alfonso XII, during most of whose
reign he was premier. He again held office from 1890-1893, and
in 1895, when he devoted his attention to the severe repression
of the Cuban insurrection. In the midst of the struggle he was
murdered by an anarchist (August, 1897).

_Bartolomé de las Casas_ or _Casaus_ was of French descent.
His father, Francisco Casaus, was in Hispaniola with Columbus
in 1493, and returned to Seville with a fortune in 1500. In
the same year Bartolomé, who had been born in 1474, went to
Salamanca, where he studied jurisprudence. He then went to
Hispaniola with the governor, Nicolás Ovando, and in 1510
took holy orders. In 1515 he returned to Spain to protest
against the ill treatment of the natives of the West Indies by
the Spaniards. Through the influence of Cardinal Ximenes he
obtained the nomination of special commissioners to inquire
into the abuses of authority. He was himself appointed to
act as their adviser. The colonists proved too powerful and
the mission failed in its object. Las Casas, expelled from
Hispaniola, returned to Spain. After some difficulty he
obtained the acceptance of his suggestions for improving the
government of the West Indies, the chief of which was the
unfortunate one of the substitution of negro for native labour.
He returned to America and this time succeeded in obtaining
better treatment for the Indians, who were finally declared
free by a royal edict of 1543. He died at Madrid in 1569.

=Casiri=, M., Bibliotheca arabigo-hispana escurialensis, Madrid, 1750-1770, 2 vols.

_Michael Casiri_ was born in Tripoli, Syria, in 1710. By birth
he was a Syro-Maronite and his life was chiefly devoted to
oriental studies though in 1734 he took holy orders. In 1749
he was appointed librarian of the Escorial. His _Bibliotheca_
consists of extracts from and articles on the Arabian documents
in the library of the Escorial.

_Emilio Castelar y Ripoll_, celebrated as orator, writer, and
statesman, was born at Cadiz in 1832. He took his degree of
doctor of philosophy in his twenty-second year. He was editor
of various newspapers in succession and an eloquent exponent
of republican ideas which he continued to be after succeeding
to the chair of Spanish History in the Universidad Central
(1858), till the government forced him to resign. He shared in
the revolution of 1866 and was consequently condemned to death.
He escaped to Paris, where he remained till the revolution of
1868 made possible his return to Madrid, when he became one of
the leaders of the republican party and headed the opposition
during the reign of King Amadeo, on whose resignation Castelar
attained the chief power under the republic. He governed ably,
but his republicanism became suspected, and early in 1874 he
was overthrown by a vote of want of confidence. He retired for
a time to Paris, but soon returned to Spain and resumed his
political career as deputy to the cortes. His numerous works
include novels and speeches on various political questions.

the first, an anonymous monk of Albelda, wrote in the ninth
century. His portion extends from the foundation of Rome to the
reign of Alfonso III. The second author was the monk Vigila, of
the same monastery, who coming a century later continued the
narrative down to the year 976. He is the earliest authority
for the history of Navarre.

_José Antonio Condé_ (1765-1820), was at one time regarded as
the great authority on the history of the Spanish Arabs. He was
educated at the University of Salamanca, a member of various
learned societies, and for long _conservador_ of the Escorial
library. In 1814 he was exiled for political reasons and he
died in great poverty. Modern students of the history of the
Spanish Arabs have convicted Condé of many errors and faults
of judgment, but it is acknowledged that he was a laborious
scholar.

_Reinhart Dozy_, an eminent Dutch orientalist of French
extraction was born in Leyden in 1820 and died there in 1883.
He was an extraordinary linguist and wrote almost equally well
