Macedo, Pablo

Biographical notes:

Historical Background

Pablo Macedo was born in Mexico City on February 1, 1851. His father may have been Mariano Macedo (d. 1869), a minister in the government of General Mariano Arista. A disciple of Gabino Barreda (1818-1881), Pablo Macedo became a lawyer and served as a professor of political economy at the Escuela de Leyes (School of Law). He was the author of "La evolucion mercantil," "Communicaciones y obras publicas," and "Tres monografias que dan idea de una parte de la evolucion economica de Mexico" (Mexico: J. Bollesca, 1905). He died in Spain on December 25, 1918.

Based on a letter from Pablo Macedo, found in the collection, it can be assumed that the materials belonged to the Macedo family. How the papers came to UCSD in unknown. The materials were originally enclosed in a rustic leather portfolio and found in the vault of the Mandeville Department of Special Collections in 1986. It is possible that the papers may have been included in one of the many book collections acquired by the UCSD Library.
