Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTONIO, NICOLAS (1617-1684) , Spanish bibliographer, was born at
Seville
  on the 31St of July 1617. After taking his degree at Salamanca (1636-1639), he returned to his native city, wrote his treatise De Exilio (which was not printed till 1659 ), and began his monumental
register
  of Spanish writers. The fame of his learning reached Philip IV., who conferred the order of Santiago on him in 1645, and sent him as general agent to Rome in 1654.
Returning to Spain in 1679, Antonio died at Madrid in the
spring
  of 1684. His Bibliotheca Hispana nova, dealing with the works of Spanish authors who flourished after 1500, appeared at Rome in 1672; the Bibliotheca Hispana vetus, a literary history of Spain from the time of
Augustus
  to the end of the 15th century, was revised by Manuel Marti, and published by Antonio's friend, Cardinal Jose Saenz de Aguirre at Rome in 1696. A fine edition of both parts, with additional matter found in Antonio's manuscripts, and with supplementary notes by Francisco Perez Bayer, was issued at Madrid in 17871788. This
great
 
work
 , incomparably superior to any previous bibliography, is still unsuperseded and indispensable.
Of Antonio's miscellaneous writings the most important is the posthumous Censura de historias fabulosas (Valencia, 1942), in which erudition is combined with
critical
  insight. His Bibliotheca Hispana rabinica has not been printed; the
manuscript
  is in the national library at Madrid.
