Manuel de Vega


Manuel de Vega i Rovira was a religious and writer of Catalonia, Spain at the beginning of the 18th century. He was a member of the order of San Benito and was a musician and cantor of the monastery of Ripoll, of which he was later prior and vicar general. He was a friend of Pau Ignasi de Dalmases, founder of the Academy of the Distrustful, to whom he dedicated the Spanish translation of Diego Monti's Unhappy Political Unhappy (1699). He participated with the Academy of the Distrustful in the edition of the poetry of Francesc Vicent García, Rector of Vallfogona, and wrote the life of the poet that precedes the first edition of 1703 with the pseudonym of Rector of Pital-luga. He also composed some provincial constitutions of the Tarraconense Claustral Congregation and elegiac dramatic Poema, awarded in 1702 in a poetic contest in Barcelona. He died around 1712.
