Ricardo Palma

Ricardo Palma (1833 - 1919) was a Peruvian author and scholar.

Palma led an active life as a naval officer, journalist, and politician before gaining fame as a historian by authoring a book on the Inquisition of Lima, Peru in 1863. He directed the National Library of Peru for many years, rebuilding it after its destruction during the War of the Pacific into one of the top libraries in South America. Through his friendship with Chilean president Domingo Santa María, Palma was able to recover 10,000 books, as well as many others recovered through his own efforts.

Palma is noted for creating the literary genre, tradición - a combination of fiction and history that forms a kind of historical anecdote. His works concerning colonial and early republican Peru were published from 1872 to 1910 in a series of volumes called Tradiciones Peruanas, of which many different selections and versions are available. As a history resource, the "Tradiciones Peruanas" are lacking in accuracy, with many imprecisions relying heavily on hearsay. However, as literature the books allow readers to acquaint themselves with the general feeling of Peruvian history.

The Universidad Ricardo Palma in Lima, Peru is named after him.
