Vicente Salva (1786 - 1849), grammarian, bibliographer, bookseller and publisher, was a Spanish political exile in England who started out by opening a bookshop with his son. In 18 24, while in London, he created a library in Spanish and the Classics with the help of his English friends. The library soon became a gathering place for liberal Spanish emigrants. He was also professor of Greek at the University of London. He expanded his business to publishing and, from 1830, also operated in Paris. Show more
