During his lifetime, Antonio de Lebrija forged his own image as restorer of Latin in Spain. Of the many facets that he developed as a humanist, it was his work as Latin grammarian and philologist that prevailed until the eighteenth century, when critics became especially interested in Lebrija’s contribution to the study of the Spanish language in his Gramática and his Reglas de Ortografía, as well as his dictionaries (Latin to Spanish and Spanish to Latin). In the subsequent centuries, Lebrija’s status as historian was also valued, as well as his contribution to other disciplines, especially his commentaries on religious texts, his pedagogical works and his poetry. Lebrija’s figure has also been used politically, both from the nationalist and conservative position of traditional Catholicism, founded on his patriotism and services to the Spanish crown and his dedication to sacred letters, and from a liberal and progressive ideology, which highlighted his firm defence of freedom of expression and reason against the principle of authority.
