Life

Jaime de Angulo was born in Paris to Spanish parents. He came to America in 1905, and reached San Francisco on the eve of the powerful earthquake of 1906 . He led a colorful life, working among other things as a cowboy, doctor and psychologist. He grew to be a linguist who contributed to the knowledge of some northern California Indian languages, as well as some in Mexico. Regarding the religious world of the Achumawi , an Indian tribe in central California that de Angulo still regarded as extremely 'primitive', for example, he noted that there are two kinds of reality for the Achumawi:

“L'une est celle de la vie ordinaire, de la vie de tous les jours, et il sait fort bien y appliquer la logique la plus rigoureuse. L'autre est celle d'un monde mystérieux, effrayant, où tout est possible. Ces deux mondes d'ailleurs n'en font qu'un pour lui. Il ne sait pas où l'un s'arrête et l'autre commence. / dt. One is that of ordinary, everyday life, and he knows very well how to apply the strictest logic here. The other is that of a mysterious, terrifying world where anything is possible. Incidentally, these two worlds form only one for him. He doesn't know where one ends and the other begins. "

He was friend and colleague of Ezra Pound , Robinson Jeffers and Harry Partch . De Angulo is the author of many books. He died in 1950.
