Antonio Antonius Castilian Elio Grammar Humanist Language Personage Renaissance Scholar Teacher 15th Lebrija Nebrija
EDITORS COMMENTS
Antonio de Nebrija (1441-1522), a prominent Spanish scholar, historian, teacher, and poet of the Renaissance period, is depicted in this beautifully colored engraving. Born in León, Spain, Nebrija is best known for writing the first comprehensive grammar of the Castilian language, which was published in Salamanca in 1492, the same year Columbus set sail on his historic voyage discovering the Americas. Nebrija's work marked a significant milestone in the standardization of the Spanish language and solidified his place as a leading figure in the Spanish humanist movement. The image captures the scholar in contemplative mode, with a quill pen in hand and a stack of books at his side, symbolizing his dedication to learning and scholarship. Nebrija's attire reflects the fashion of the late 15th century, with a flowing robe and a pointed cap, typical of the scholarly attire of the time. Nebrija's contributions to Spanish literature and language extended beyond grammar, as he was also an accomplished poet and historian. His works include historical accounts of the Spanish conquest of the Americas and the Moorish occupation of Spain, as well as poetry collections. This engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of a remarkable figure in Spanish history. Nebrija's influence on the Spanish language and culture continues to be felt to this day, making him a vital and enduring presence in the annals of Spanish literature and scholarship.
