Felix de Latassa

Felix de Latassa y Ortin (November 21, 1733 – April 2, 1805) was Aragonese bibliographer responsible for compiling (in several works) a chronological index of Aragonese writers from the time of the birth of Christ up to his own time.[1]

The bibliographies are often treated in two parts:

  • The first, in two large volumes, catalogues Aragonese literature and letters ranging from the years 1 to 1500.
  • The second part, separate volumes that cover from 1500 to his own contemporary age (1802).[1]

Latassa's bibliographies also contain many biographical notes which are a valuable (and sometimes sole) source for many Aragonese historical figures.[2]
