Institución Alfonso el Magnánimo

The Institución Alfonso el Magnánimo (IAM) is a cultural and scientific entity based in Valencia, Spain. It was founded in 1948 by the Diputación Provincial de Valencia (Provincial Council of Valencia) with the aim of centralizing and strengthening cultural and scientific studies in the region. The institution is linked to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Over the decades, IAM has become a prominent publisher under the imprint 'Llibres com tu', releasing works in Catalan and Spanish on history, literature, poetry, and social issues. Its catalog includes authors such as Jaume I, Max Aub, Maria Beneyto, and Rodolf Sirera, often with critical editions and introductions by scholars. The institution also publishes the journal 'Revista Rituals' and supports research through grants and conferences. IAM is governed by a president, with notable figures such as Manuel Girona Rubio (1980), Andrés Amorós (1998), Alfonso Rus Terol, Vicent Ribes (January 2014), and Vicent Flor (December 2015) having held the position. The institution operates primarily in the Valencian Community but distributes its publications throughout Spain and beyond. Its mission remains to promote Valencian culture and science, bridging academic research and public readership through high-quality editions and cultural initiatives.

The Institución Alfonso el Magnánimo was established in 1948 by the Diputación Provincial de Valencia, the provincial government of Valencia, Spain. Its founding purpose was to centralize and strengthen cultural and scientific studies in the Valencian region. From its inception, it was linked to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Spain's national research council, which provided a framework for its scholarly activities. During the Francoist period, the institution operated under the cultural policies of the regime, but it gradually became a platform for Valencian cultural revival. In the post-Franco era, it expanded its publishing program, issuing works in Catalan and Spanish that explored regional history, literature, and social issues. The institution's publishing arm, often branded as 'Llibres com tu', became known for critical editions and collections such as 'Revista Rituals'. Over the years, IAM has been led by various presidents, including Manuel Girona Rubio (1980), Andrés Amorós (1998), Alfonso Rus Terol, Vicent Ribes (January 2014), and Vicent Flor (December 2015). These leaders have guided its mission to promote Valencian culture and science. Today, IAM continues to publish books and journals, organize cultural events, and support research, maintaining its role as a key cultural institution in the Valencian Community.
