García Rabadán, Alfonso (¿?-1720-1758-¿?)
Record details
Vida
Son escasos los datos biográficos que circulan sobre Alfonso García Rabadán. Se desconocen el lugar y la fecha de su nacimiento y de su muerte, aunque sabemos que vivió en el siglo XVIII. Hemos podido averiguar que fue maestro de Latín en Mota del Cuervo (Cuenca) y que ejerció la docencia desde la década de 1720.
Como educador, García Rabadán escribió dos gramáticas latinas, de las cuales solo una llegó a la imprenta. A la primera, Instrucción fácil (1756), le denegaron los permisos de impresión por adoptar las tendencias de la gramática francesa y alejarse del método jesuítico impuesto para la enseñanza. El autor abre su manual con un alegato a favor de su método, contraargumentando a sus detractores. Divide la obra en 6 libros: los tres primeros los reserva para la Morfología, el cuarto para la Sintaxis, el quinto para la Prosodia y el sexto para la Ortografía. El Fácil méthodo, en cambio, sí recibió la aprobación para ver la luz en 1758. En este volumen, García Rabadán compendia en español la gramática latina siguiendo la clásica división cuatripartita de Morfología, Sintaxis, Prosodia y Ortografía. La redacción en español está justificada por el didactismo de la obra.
