The Robert Brian Tate
fonds
During the "IV
International Colloquium of Problems and Methods of Old Catalan Literature
: History and Legend up to the Renaissance",
Robert B. Tate, professor emeritus of the University of Nottingham,
donated one thousand volumes related with historiography and with the
hispanicist world in general from his personal library to the University
of Girona. The Robert B. Tate Collection occupies an important place in
the university library, separate from the general collection and reserved
for researchers. In addition, the Publications Service of the University
of Girona has designed a distinctive ex libris for the collection. The one
thousand volumes donated by Professor Tate provide exceptional enrichment
to the mass of documents and material on the Gironian humanist Joan
Margarit i Pau, also donated by Tate to the ILCC in 1994, and which had
been useful to him while writing his undergraduate thesis, part of his
doctoral thesis and the subsequent publication in English and Catalan of
his work. At that time Lluís Lucero was given the task of ordering and
creating an inventory of all the material, and it is he who is now
pre-cataloguing all the personal papers that, together with the books,
Tate donated to the University of Girona: letters, off-prints, lecture
notes, class notes, etc. Professor Tate the scholar has been and continues
to be consulted by some of the most renowned cultural historians of the
Iberian peninsular and he himself has thus become the object of study.
These documents together with all the documentation from 1994 form an
indispensable reference collection for philologists and scholars of
medieval, humanistic and modern historiography, and for all hispanicists
in general.
Robert Brian Tate
Robert Brian Tate was born in Belfast, Northern
Ireland, on 27 December 1921. He graduated with a degree in Romance
Language Philology from Queen’s University of Belfast in 1948. Immediately
afterwards, and until 1949, he carried out research in Barcelona under the
supervision of Jordi Rubió i Balaguer. He has taught at the universities
of Manchester (1949-1952), Belfast (1952-1956) and Nottingham (1956-1958).
In 1958 he was given the Chair of Hispanic Language and Literature at the
University of Nottingham. Since 1991 he has been Professor Emeritus of
that same university. With his first study of Cardenal Margarit, in 1950,
he earned a master's degree at the University of Belfast and in 1955 he
obtained his doctorate from the same university with a dissertation on the
impact of humanism on Hispanic historiography since the XV century. In
1954 he won the Francesc Cambó award from the Institut d’Estudis
Catalans for his work on Margarit. He has been a member of the
Institut d’Estudis Catalans since 1964, of the Real Academia de la
Historia de Madrid since 1974, of the Reial Acadèmia de Bones
Lletres de Barcelona and of the British Academy since 1980. He was a
founding member and president of the Association of Hispanists of Great
Britain and Ireland, of the Anglo-Catalan Society and of the Association
of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (East Midlands Branch), as well as a
member of the International Association of Hispanicists.
