[VIHUELA] Re: Amat

[Monica Hall]

   Sorry - I don't have an English translation.   I can't vouch for its
   reliability either.  But the information was apparently unearthed by
   one Jose Vilar who was secretary to the municipality of Monistrol -
   where Amat lived and worked throughout his life.   Vilar published his
   findings in 1918 but I have never been able to trace these.   Emilio
   Pujol presumably thought the information reliable as he has quoted most
   of it in his article on Amat - which is where I got the original
   reference from.



   The photos look pretty genuine and apparently there was a Plaza del Dr.
   Carles Amat and Amat was responsible for installing the drinking
   fountain.  The point is that he was medical officer to the town and the
   monastery of Montserrat throughout his life and held various municipal
   offices in the town's administration which why there is so much
   information about him including documents which he signed.



   There used to be a web page with information about him too - which I
   downloaded.   This is in Catalan.  He is obviously regarded as  a local
   hero.



   Whether all the documents survived the Civil War I have never been able
   to discover.

   Have you an English translation Monica?

   What's the reliability of this source?

      for anyone who is interested I have posted on my
      [4]www.earlyguitar.ning site a rare article about Joan Carles Amat
      which I think very few people have seen - at least in the English
      speaking world.   It is the source of most of the biographical
      information about him.
