Biography
He was born on 22 June 1876 in the Galician town of Verín. While at the University of Salamanca, during the course of 1899-1900 he conducted advanced philosophy studies at the universities of Leuven, Brussels and Paris. In February 1904 he became full professor of psychology, logic, ethics and rudiments of law at the Institute of Soria, transferring that same year to the same professorship at the Institute of Ourense, where he created a laboratory of experimental psychology, just as he would later at the Institute of Toledo.

Why this record matters
The phrase “spanish author (1876–1935)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3394289. VIAF identifies the subject as 15554354. The Library of Congress control number is ns2013000188. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1876, 1935, 1899 and 1900.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
