Gayangos, Pascual de (1809-1897)
Vida
Pascual de Gayangos y Arce nació en Sevilla en 1809. Realizó sus primeros estudios en Madrid, y muy pronto su familia se trasladó a Francia (1822), a Blois, ciudad de la que procedía su madre. Más tarde estudió árabe en París, y allí se enamoró de una inglesa, Francisca Rebell, con la que se casó en Londres en 1828. Al año siguiente obtuvo una plaza de funcionario de Hacienda en Málaga, donde conoció a Serafín Estébanez Calderón (1799-1867). En 1833 lo tenemos nuevamente en Madrid, realizando diversos trabajos y consultando los manuscritos orientales de la biblioteca del monasterio de El Escorial. Entre 1837 y 1843 residió en Londres, alejándose de los problemas políticos de España. La vuelta a nuestro país en 1843 es para hacerse cargo de la cátedra de lengua árabe de la universidad de Madrid. Al año siguiente fue elegido como académico de la Real Academia de la Historia. Regresó a Londres en 1881 donde vivió hasta su muerte en 1897. Gayangos es considerado como el padre de la prestigiosa escuela de arabistas españoles. Buen conocedor de la literatura española editó numerosas obras de nuestra literatura medieval y del Siglo de Oro. Realizó el monumental Catalogue of the manuscripts in the Spanish language in the British Museum en cuatro volúmenes (William Clower and Sons, Londres, 1875-189). Si lo traemos a la Biblioteca Virtual de la Filología Española es por el pequeño glosario que puso al final de su edición de La gran conquista de Ultramar, texto de finales del s. XIII.
