Ramón Aller’s punch in SEG’s golden era

This year marks the centenary of the School of Studies in Gallegos (SEG), a group of nine university students chaired by Armando Cotarelo Valledor. The purpose of the SEG is to study all social and cultural issues that affect Galician life, promoting the efforts of all researchers in a common work, leaving aside individuals to successfully work and write information in the Galician language. Cecilia Doporto, director of the Larin Museum and director of the Ramon Aller Observatory at the University of Southern California, talked about the relationship between SEG and the Larin Observatory in the capital.

SEG is a scientific and cultural institution associated with the University of Santiago, which for 13 years has focused primarily on the work of university professors and students, two of the best in Galicianism, as Doporto pointed out in his speech Intellectuals. An art history professor was also fooled by her conference at the Larinense Museum, “One of the two most outstanding works of the SEG is the thematic and interdisciplinary field research carried out as a team on Galician dioceses and dioceses ( It seems that these surveys were the first in Europe) and formed the so-called “Xeiras”.

Regarding what the SEG did for these “xeiras” of the Deza breakwater, Cecilia Doporto explains, “Obviously the image of the scientist Aller Ulloa is well known throughout Spain. In 1918 the book “Algorítmia” was published and featured in national and international scientific journals Published 17 articles. Endowed by the first private observatory in Galicia, he became famous throughout Europe, wrote a topographical manual, owned surveying and astronomical equipment and placed his observatory or services in the scientific section. In addition, SEG The connection with SEG also extends to the figure of “SEG President Salvador Cabeza de León,” who has a family in Larín and spends much of his time in the village; Antonio The Antonio Taboada Roca family, which owns properties in the municipalities of Agolada and Vila de Cruces, perhaps played the biggest role in the investigation of the Dessa region people.”

Two other aspects discussed in the presentation related to SEG’s survey subjects. Cecilia Doporto suliñou’s disciplines include “a comprehensive study of the historical, archaeological, folkloric, literary, botanical or geographical wealth of each parish and each place; the study of modernization, Social planning and internationalization: the unknown was not valued, the standardization of the Galician language, written and written, the production of collection manuals for the basic teaching and dissemination of our science, the creation of museums as well as Doha’s own library.”

The region of Desa, followed by the region of Melidetra, is the region most studied by scholars of these traditions, as Dopoto also explains, “particularly studied in humanistic knowledge, but also with a significant influence in the scientific fields, which requires Attributed to the work of Iglesias”, Isidro Parga Pondar and Ramon María Aller. Terra de Deza remains unpublished. We believe that it was thus recalled, but when it was written (on November 13, 1935, they decided to put Fermín Bouza Brei in charge of correcting and organizing the work of “Terra de Deza”), “It took Terra de Melide four years to order and publish it, not from Terra de Deza, which would have taken at least five or six, just the amount of field work to collect it,” said de Melide.

With his intervention the director of the Municipal Museum of Larin (named after an outstanding local astronomer) also exhibited works by Vincent Risco, Lacero, X. Lorenzo or Vidal Rei Several of Yi’s works attracted a large number of viewers.
