Born in Villarreal, Castellón, in 1853, José Nebot Pérez first studied Latin grammar in his hometown and later continued his education in Valencia. He left the religious path, studied philosophy and pharmacy, earned his pharmacy degree in Barcelona in 1874, and went on to build a career that combined science, books, and language.
Nebot worked for years as a pharmacist and was also associated with the body of archivists, librarians, and archaeologists, later directing the medical library of the University of Valencia. He is remembered above all as a grammarian and linguist connected with the Valencian cultural revival, writing on Valencian grammar and orthography at a time when writers were trying to bring more order and consistency to the language.
Among his best-known works are Apuntes para una Gramática Valenciana Popular and Tratado de Ortografía Valenciana Clásica. He died in Valencia in 1914. No suitable verified portrait image was found from the source pages checked, so no profile image is included.
