Euskal-Erria

Euskal-Erria was a Basque cultural magazine founded in 1880 in San Sebastián by the writer José Manterola. Published between 1880 and 1918, it appeared in Basque, Spanish and French and covered a wide range of subjects including architecture, ethnography, poetry and translations of Greek classics. After Manterola's death in 1884, the poet Antonio Arzac took over as director. Following two decades at the helm, Arzac died in 1904 and was succeeded by Francisco López Alén, who directed the magazine until his own death in 1910. Among its many contributors were architect Adolfo Morales de los Ríos (who wrote for the magazine between 1882 and 1914), Cervantes scholar Julián Apráiz Sáenz del Burgo, Rodrigo Soriano, Juan Iturralde y Suit, Miguel de Unamuno, Carmelo de Echegaray and José María Echeverría y Urruzola. A special commemorative issue dedicated to founder José Manterola, who died in 1884 before turning thirty-five, featured a cover by Morales de los Ríos and contributions from over one hundred signatories, including French scientist Roland Napoléon Bonaparte (Prince Bonaparte), Felipe Gorriti (who dedicated a funeral march for organ), Pedro de Egaña and Joaquín Jamar. The magazine is now digitized and available through the Koldo Mitxelena Kulturunea newspaper archive of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa.
