CONDE; JOSE See also:ANTONIO (1766-182o), See also:Spanish Orientalist, was See also:born at Peraleja (See also:Cuenca) on the 28th of See also:October 1766, and was educated at the university of See also:Alcala.. His See also:translation of See also:Anacreon (1791) obtained him a See also:post in the royal library in 1795, and in 1796–1797 he published paraphrases from See also:Theocritus, See also:Bion, See also:Moschus, See also:Sappho and See also:Meleager. These were followed by a mediocre edition of the Arabic See also:text of Edrisi's Description of See also:Spain (1799), with notes and a translation. Conde became a member of the Spanish See also:Academy in 1802 and of the Academy of See also:History in 1804, but his See also:appointment as interpreter to See also:Joseph See also:Bonaparte led to his See also:expulsion from both bodies in 1814. He escaped to France in See also:February 1813, and returned to Spain in 1814, but was not allowed to reside at See also:Madrid till 1816. Two years later he was re-elected by both See also:academies; he died in poverty on the 12th of See also:June 1820. His Historia de la DominaciOn de los Arabes en Espana was published in 1820–1821. Only the first See also:volume was corrected by the author, the other two being compiled from his See also:manuscript by Juan Tineo. This See also:work was translated into See also:German (1824–1825), See also:French (1825) and English (1854). Conde's pretensions to scholarship have been severely criticized by See also:Dozy, and his history is now discredited. It had, however, the merit of stimulating abler workers in the same See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.
