FEIJOO Y MONTENEGRO, BENITO JERONIMO (1676-1764)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 238 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FEIJOO Y MONTENEGRO, BENITO JERONIMO (1676-1764) , Spanish
monk
  and scholar was born at Santa Maria de Melias, near Orense, on the 8th of October 1676. At the age of twelve he entered the
Benedictine
  order, devoted himself to study, and waged war against the superstition and ignorance of his countrymen in the Teatro crItico (17261739) and the Cartas eruditas (17421760). These exposures of a
retrograde
 
system
  called forth embittered protests from narrow-minded patriots like
Salvador
  Jose Maner, and others; but the opposition was
futile, and 'Feij6o's services to the cause of knowledge were universally recognized
long
  before his death, which took place at Oviedo on the 26th of September 1764. He was not a
great
  genius, nor a writer of transcendent merit; his name is connected with no important discovery, and his style is undistinguished. But he uprooted many popular errors, awakened an
interest
  in scientific methods, and is justly regarded as the initiator of educational reform in Spain.
