La obra histórica del profesor José Ignacio Tellechea Idígoras

Abstract

We conduct a critical analysis of the complete historical work of José Ignacio Tellechea Idígoras (San Sebastián, 1928-2008), specifically his study of Bartolomé de Carranza and other heterodox figures, the relationships between Rome and the Spanish monarchy in the modern age, the Basque-Navarran Jesuits, writings pertaining to the ad limina visits and the collection of letters of Miguel de Unamuno. The author is characterised by solid erudition and writing of great literary value. He has taken the new historiographical trends into account, but has focused on an intellectual and religious history, based on the search for truth and fidelity to the written document.
