TRIBUTE TO DR. JUAN CORDERO IÑIGUEZ, HONORARY DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF HISTORY

Abstract

Dr. Cordero Iñiguez is one of those representative characters, such as those who, already in the mid-nineteenth century, Ralph Waldo Emerson cataloged to give shape to his famous book: for this reason, he deserves just price and gratitude not only from Cuenca, where he was born to honor her but the whole country. Here is a tight synthesis of this remarkable Cuenca that, with his life and work, fully justifies what I have just asserted.
