EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished figure of Gregorio Funes (1749-1830), an Argentine historian and dean of the Santa Iglesia de Corodova del Tucuman. Funes was a prominent intellectual and religious leader during the late colonial period in Argentina. He was born in the city of Tucuman, then part of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, and received his education in the Jesuit colleges of Tucuman and Cordoba. Funes began his career as a teacher and later became a canon and dean of the Santa Iglesia de Corodova del Tucuman, a position he held from 1796 until his death in 1830. During his tenure, he dedicated himself to the preservation of the historical records of the diocese and the region. He is best known for his extensive work on the history of Tucuman and the surrounding areas, which he documented in his seminal work "Historia de Tucuman." This image of Funes, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes, conveys a sense of wisdom, authority, and dedication to his scholarly pursuits. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the important role that religious institutions played in the preservation and transmission of knowledge during the colonial period in Argentina. Funes' legacy as a historian and scholar continues to be celebrated in Argentina and beyond. His works remain an invaluable source of information about the history and culture of the region, and his commitment to preserving historical records serves as an inspiration for future generations of scholars and historians.
