History:

Spanish priest, historian, professor and librarian.

He did his baccalaureate studies in Zaragoza and Huesca, and then entered in 1896 in the conciliar seminar of Santa Cruz de Huesca, and he ordained as a priest in 1904. During his studies in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters in Zaragoza's University, he started publishing investigations in magazines like the Revista de Aragón and Cultura Española, and finally licensed with specialty in History in 1907. Subsequently, he travelled to Madrid to obtain his doctorate in Madrid's Central University with the thesis titles "Breves páginas de historia de Aragón: Ramiro II el monje y las supuestas Cortes de Borja y Monzón en 1134". After obtaining his doctorate, he was named director of the Colegio de San Juan Bautista de Santoña in 1911, position he had to renounce to, because he was given a scholarship in the Sección Árabe of the Centro de Estudios Históricos of Madrid. In the Centro de Estudios Históricos, he worked from 1911 to 1919, doing works like the transcription of the work Abenhayán "El Moctabis", between May and August of 1914, pensioned by the Junta para la Ampliación de Estudios (JAE), studying in French archives about the relation between Gascuña and Aragón in the Middle Ages, or collaborating in the Sección de Historia del Derecho del centro.

In 1915, he entered, after passing an exam, in the Cuerpo Facultativo de Archiveros, Bibliotecarios y Arqueólogos, being destined to the Delegación de Hacienda of Vizcaya, to the Philosophy ad Letters Faculty of Madrid's Central University, to the Real Academia de la Historia (RAH), until he finally got to the Manuscripts section in the Biblioteca Nacional de España (BNE). At the beginning of the Civil War, he was ll destined to the BNE, and he solicited his re-entering in the Body after being purified with no sanction. He served as head of the Sección de Manuscritos from 1951.

At the same time, he dedicated to university teaching, being an assistant teacher in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters in Madrid's University (from 1919 to 1922), and serving as librarian of the Instituto Valencia de Don Juan and of the duke of Medinaceli.

Among his works, he dedicated to Aragón's History in the Middle Ages, the Muslim world in Spain (highlighting "Vida religiosa de los moriscos" in 1915), and mainly cataloguing of codices and Latin manuscripts, which led him to take part in congresses and conferences like the Congreso Iberoamericano y Filipino de Archivos y Bibliotecas in 1952.
