Miquel Anton Martí i Cortada

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Miquel Anton Martí i Cortada (* late 18th century in Barcelona ; † December 17, 1864 ibid) was a Catalan writer and poet during the Catalan Renaixença . He is the author of numerous Catalan poems. Many of these are still unpublished.

Martí was one of the founders of the Societat Filosòfica de Barcelona , the Philosophical Society of Barcelona , in 1815 . Since 1844 he was a member of the Acadèmia de Bones Lletres in Barcelona. From 1862 he also worked as a co-organizer of the newly established, originally medieval poetry competition of the Jocs Florals in Barcelona.

In 1839 he published the poem La nina del port (The girl from the port) in Diario de Barcelona and the poetry collection Llàgrimes de la viudesa (Tears of a widow), the first collection of poems in the Catalan Renaixença. In 1858 Antoni de Bofarull published a collection of his poems in Los trobadors nous (The New Troubadours). In 1864 another collection of poems by Martí appeared in the Calendari català (Catalan calendar) by FP Briz and the anthology La lluna (The Moon). Martí translated parts of La Gerusalemme liberata by Torquato Tasso and Gli animali parlanti by Giovanni Battista Casti into Catalan. Both works are unpublished, but were performed in Catalan at the Acadèmia de Bones Lletres in 1848 . Martí was one of the authors of the Diccionari quintilingüe , the five-language dictionary (Catalan-Spanish-Latin-French-Italian), the first edition of which appeared in 1839 and a second edition from 1842 to 1848.
