Saqueniza, Jacobo (¿?-1828-¿?)
Record details
Vida
Jacobo Saqueniza, pseudónimo bajo el que Joaquín Cabezas ocultaba su verdadero nombre, fue un gramático español del siglo XIX. Su Gramática elemental de la lengua castellana con un compendio de ortografía vio la luz en 1828 y fue reimpresa cuatro años más tarde en la imprenta de don Norberto Llorenci (Madrid). Saqueniza fue el primer seguidor de Gómez Hermosilla (1771-1837) y de sus Principios de gramática general (Madrid, 1835), gracias a que estos últimos circularon manuscritos varios años antes de ser publicados. A pesar de que existen notables diferencias entre ambas obas, ha sido acusado de plagio. El objetivo de Saqueniza era aplicar las teorías defendidas por Gómez Hermosilla a la gramática española y redactar una gramática particular; sin embargo, lograr una aclimatación perfecta al caso concreto de la lengua española, no era factible. Desde el título, anunció que su propósito era didáctico y, por ello, tampoco siguió a su maestro en la estructuración del contenido, sino que se acogió a la tradición gramatical que recurría a la forma dialéctica en las obras de estas características para facilitar la comprensión al lector.
