Un corresponsal del P. Feijoo: Joaquín Saurin Robles

espanolLa afable respuesta del P. Feijoo a un joven admirador, en 1750, da pie para esbozar la personalidad del destinatario, aristocrata murciano que habia encontrado en el benedictino una guia intelectual. Todo en su evolucion sucesiva —ya fuera como Regidor de su ciudad natal o en sus actividades de anticuario, editor de textos raros y en trance de ser olvidados, dramaturgo o miembro de la Sociedad Economica de Amigos del Pais—, prueba su adhesion a la estrategia sugerida por Feijoo para que Espana, superando su marginalidad, lograse incorporarse a las Luces ya esparcidas por Europa. EnglishIn 1750, the kind answer from P. Feijoo to a young admirer, allows for the sketching out of the recipient’s personality, an aristocrat from Murcia, who would have found an intellectual guide in this Benedictine figure. Everything in the development of this personal history whether as councilor of his native city, or in his activities as an antiquarian scholar, editor of rare texts or, in the process of being forgotten, as a playwright or member of Sociedad Economica de Amigos del Pais, proves his support to the strategy adopted by Feijoo in which Spain, surpassing its marginality, could join the Enlightenment which had already spread throughout Europe.
