Jaume Vicens i Vives


Jaime Vicens Vives was a Spanish historian, and is considered, along with Pierre Vilar, one of the top influential Catalan historians of the 20th century.
According to Eliseo Climent Corberá, his 1954 book Notícia de Catalunya was a direct source and inspiration for Juan Fuster's influential 1962 book Nosaltres, els valencians. That book was to have been originally titled Nosaltres els catalans, but it was renamed under José Pla's advice, for fear of Francoist censorship. Fuster's work has the same structure and intention as Vicens' book does. The book was expanded and republished in 1960. Notícia de Catalunya had also a major influence on Jorge Pujol. Vicens was also a friend an influence for Juan Reglá.
