About the author
Born in Zaragoza in 1838, Cosme Blasco y Val was a Spanish writer, historian, and teacher whose work moved easily between scholarship and local history. Sources agree that he studied Philosophy and Letters, Civil and Canon Law, and Theology, and that he built a notable academic career in subjects related to literature and history.
He taught in several institutions, including posts linked to Teruel, Huesca, Barcelona, and Zaragoza, and gained a reputation as an exceptionally productive scholar. His writing focused especially on Aragonese life and tradition, combining historical research with an eye for regional customs and civic memory.
Blasco died in Zaragoza in 1900. He is still remembered for works such as Historia de Teruel and for the breadth of his publishing career, which made him an important figure in 19th-century Aragonese letters.
