Rafael Delgado (author)

Rafael Delgado (20 August 1853 – 20 May 1914) was a Mexican author. In 1896, he became a member of the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua, occupying the 12th (XII) chair.^[1]

Ángel de Jesús Rafael Delgado Sáinz^[2] was born on 20 August 1853 in Córdoba, Veracruz, to Pedro Delgado and María de Jesús Sáinz.^[3] His parents were religious conservatives and moved the family to Orizaba after increasing liberal sentiment in Córdoba.^[3] Delgado earned a degree in education from the Colegio Nacional de Orizaba, where he subsequently taught literature and history.^[3][4]

Delgado was invited by José López Portillo y Rojas, the governor of Jalisco, to serve as director of the state's department of education, though his arthritis forced him to return to Orizaba shortly afterward.^[3] He died on 20 May 1914, having never married.^[3]
