La gramática española y su enseñanza entre dos siglos: Diego Narciso Herranz y Quirós

Abstract

María José GARCÍA FOLGADO: Spanish Grammar and Its Teaching Between Two Centuries: Diego Narciso Herranz y Quirós. In the second half of the 18th century, Spanish grammar experimented an important change as it was included as part of the curriculum for the different centers and educational institutions that were developed in Spain in that period. In this sense, the transformation of the former Hermandad de San Casiano, an organism that since the 17th century, had been dedicated to the control of primary teachers, into the Colegio Académico del Noble Arte de Primeras Letras (1780), is extremely important. Indeed, the latter received the complete support of the government of Carlos III, and would also go on to establish contact with other institutions that were also created in the Bourban era, such as the Real Academia Española.
