EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the enlightened face of Fray Iigo de Abad y Lasierra (1745-1813), a Spanish historian and philosopher of great importance in the intellectual and cultural history of the Iberian Peninsula. Born in Aranda de Duero, Spain, Abad y Lasierra dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of history. The image, which graces the front page of a historical document, showcases Abad y Lasierra's distinguished appearance with his serious expression, piercing gaze, and monk's habit. His attire, a symbol of his commitment to the religious life, underscores his intellectual pursuits, as he was not only a member of the Order of Saint Augustine but also a prolific writer and scholar. Abad y Lasierra's works, which spanned various disciplines, including history, philosophy, and theology, were groundbreaking in their time. He is best known for his comprehensive history of the Philippines, "Historia de la isla de Luz," which remains a valuable source of information about the early colonial period. His philosophical treatises, such as "Discurso sobre la libertad," contributed significantly to the development of Spanish Enlightenment thought. Despite his significant contributions to the intellectual world, Abad y Lasierra's life was not without controversy. His critical stance on certain aspects of the Spanish colonial regime and the Church led to his arrest and imprisonment. Nevertheless, his unwavering commitment to truth and knowledge ultimately triumphed, leaving us with a rich legacy that continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the past.
