(2) See also:Works: The See also:standard See also:general See also:history of Spain written by a Spaniard is that of Don Modesto Lafuente in 30 volumes (1850–1867; new ed., by Valera, 22 vols., Barcelona, 1888) . It was written before the See also:medieval See also:period had been properly investigated, is wordy, and largely spoilt by displays of See also:national vanity . A later and more See also:critical writer of nearly the same name, Don See also:Vicente de la Fuente, has published valuable Estudios criticos sobre la historia y el derecho de Aragon (1884–1886) . No satisfactory general history of Spain has been written by a foreigner . The best is that of M . Ramey, Histoire d'Espagne (1843) . Don Rafael Altamira has published an Historia de Espana y de la See also:civilization espanola (2 vols., Barcelona, 1900-1902), in which he sums up the results of later See also:research . Among older writers Juan de See also:Mariana, who ends with the Catholic sovereigns, professedly took See also:Livy as a See also:model, and wrote a See also:fine example of a rhetorical history published in Latin (1592–1609), and then in Spanish translated and largely re-written by himself . It was continued to 1600 by Minana . An See also:English See also:translation, with supplements, was published by See also:Captain J . See also:Stephens in 1699 . The Anales de Aragon of Geronimo Zurita (161o) are very far See also:superior to the history of Mariana in See also:criticism and research . The See also:great school of Spanish historians died out with the other glories of the nation in the 17th See also:century . The later periods have been indifferently treated by them, but Don See also:Antonio Canovas del See also:Castillo published some valuable studies on the later See also:Austrian See also:dynasty under the title Estudios del reinado de Felipe IV . (1889) . The reader may also consult—for the earlier period—See also:Florian de Ocampo and Ambrosio de Morales, whose combined works are known as the CrOnica general de Espana (fol. See also:editions, 1543–1586, republished in 10 small volumes at See also:Madrid, 1791–1792) . This was continued by Prudencio de Sandoval, See also:bishop of See also:Tuy and afterwards of Pampeluna, under the title of Hist. de los reyes de Castilla y de Leon: Fernando I .
