Fundació Pere Coromines

The Fundació Pere Coromines, d'Estudis Filosòfics, Històrics, Literaris i d'Investigació Lingüística (FPC) is a Catalan private foundation created by the linguist Joan Coromines shortly before his death. It was constituted on 17 April 1997 under the presidency of Max Cahner, and by express testamentary wish it bears the name of Joan Coromines's father, the writer, politician and economist Pere Coromines i Montanya (Barcelona, 1870 – Buenos Aires, 1939), for whom his son felt a special veneration. The foundation's stated objectives centre on the preservation, dissemination and continuation of Joan Coromines's monumental body of work, as well as the safekeeping of his intellectual and moral legacy. It operates as a cultural and scholarly institution rather than a commercial enterprise, maintaining a library, a digital library, a catalogue, an agenda of events and a publications programme. Its publishing activity includes the series Col·lecció Textos i Estudis, the Biblioteca de Ciències Humanes and the Biblioteca Serra i Moret, alongside other publications. On 28 September 2006 the then President of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Pasqual Maragall, inaugurated the foundation's headquarters in Sant Pol de Mar, in the former Coromines summer house on the Maresme coast, which had been fully rehabilitated for the purpose. The foundation's website, designed by Quadratí, presents sections devoted to both Pere Coromines and Joan Coromines, including biographies, bibliographies, photographic albums, documents and resources, as well as links to related works such as Curial Edicions Catalanes, Repòrter, Onomasticon cataloniae and the Diccionari etimològic i complementari de la llengua catalana. The Fundació Pere Coromines thus functions as a custodian institution for Catalan linguistic and humanistic scholarship, combining archival, editorial and public-facing activities from its base in Sant Pol de Mar.
