Francisco Rodríguez Marín (Osuna, January 27, 1855–Madrid, June 9, 1943) was a Spanish poet, paremiologist, and lexicologist.

Biography

Rodríguez Marín finished his high school in Osuna, and later spent three years at the "Viña de Pago Dulce" estate. He studied law at the University of Seville and became interested in Spanish popular songs through the Sociedad del Folk-Lore Andaluz, which he co-founded in 1881. There he met Antonio Machado y Álvarez, Alejandro Guichot and Luis Montoto among other scholars.

In 1883 he returned to Osuna, where he worked as a lawyer. In 1885 he married Dolores Vecino, with whom he would have several children. He also devoted himself to journalism and poetry. In 1897 he almost lost his voice due to a laryngeal operation. He worked as an editor of the Sevillian magazine La Enciclopedia, where for some time he was responsible for a column entitled "Vulgar Poems". He collaborated with the local newspapers "El Alabardero", "El Posibilista" and "La Tribuna", and the Madrid newspaper "La Mañana".

He was interested above all in traditional popular literature, Cervantes, and Andalusian literature. In 1895 he met Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo in Seville, and was appointed full professorship at the "Academia Sevillana de Buenas Letras". In 1897 he was appointed councillor of the city council of Seville. On October 27, 1907, he started teaching at the "Real Academia Española"(RAE). He also directed the National Library of Madrid (1912-1930).

In 1927 he was elected to teach at the Royal Academy of History. In 1931 his wife, Dolores Vecino, died. During the Civil War he took refuge for twenty-six months in the La Mancha town of Piedrabuena (Ciudad Real), where his daughter Carlota lived. There he wrote "En un lugar de La Mancha". On 5 December 1940, he was appointed director of the Royal Spanish Academy. He died in 1943.

He published three editions of Don Quixote. A fourth edition, today the most known, appeared in 1947–1949. He also published editions of other works by Miguel de Cervantes and collections of unpublished Cervantes documents, as well as many collections of Spanish songs and proverbs. He was also a biobibliographer of Pedro Espinosa, and printed the poetry of Baltasar del Alcázar and El diablo cojuelo by Luis Vélez de Guevara.

As a poet, he wrote madrigals and sonnets in theme and style of the Golden Age. His poems were compiled under the title of "A la real de España". Selected Poems (1871-1941) (Madrid: Imprenta Prensa Española, 1942) and a collection of his press articles were published by the Association of Friends of Rodríguez Marín (Madrid, 1957). He also compiled the correspondence exchanged with his friend Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo (Epistolario de Menéndez Pelayo y Rodríguez Marín, 1891–1912).
