Josep M. Millàs i Vallicrosa (Santa Coloma de Farners, 1897-Barcelona, 1970) excelled in the study of the history of science in Muslim Spain and in the study of medieval Hebrew poetry. He founded a school of Arabists and historians of science that has continued to explore the science of Al-Andalus with exemplary rigor.
The archive housed at the Science and Technology Library includes documents on Arabic science, scientific instruments, medieval Hebrew poetry, the history of astronomy and mathematics, and the historiography of science, as well as his personal collection, which notably includes correspondence and personal works.
This first phase of digitization, now available for consultation at the DDD, includes personal and professional correspondence, handwritten and typewritten works highlighting drafts of articles he later published, corrected proofs, information about his participation in congresses, documentation in Hebrew, and analyses of epigraphy, of which he was a great scholar.
