Un corresponsal del P. Feijoo: Joaquín Saurin Robles

RESUMENLa afable respuesta del P. Feijoo a un joven admirador, en 1750, da pie para esbozar la personalidad del destinatario, aristócrata murciano que había encontrado en el benedictino una guía intelectual. Todo en su evolución sucesiva —ya fuera como Regidor de su ciudad natal o en sus actividades de anticuario, editor de textos raros y en trance de ser olvidados, dramaturgo o miembro de la Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País—, prueba su adhesión a la estrategia sugerida por Feijoo para que España, superando su marginalidad, lograse incorporarse a las Luces ya esparcidas por Europa.PALABRAS CLAVEFeijoo, Ilustración, Saurin, Murcia. TITLEA correspondent of Father Feijoo: Joaquín Saurin RoblesABSTRACTIn 1750, the kind answer from P. Feijoo to a young admirer, allows for the sketching out of the recipient’s personality, an aristocrat from Murcia, who would have found an intellectual guide in this Benedictine figure. Everything in the development of this personal history whether as councilor of his native city, or in his activities as an antiquarian scholar, editor of rare texts or, in the process of being forgotten, as a playwright or member of Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, proves his support to the strategy adopted by Feijoo in which Spain, surpassing its marginality, could join the Enlightenment which had already spread throughout Europe.KEY WORDSFeijoo, Enlightenment, Saurin, Murcia.
