Antxon Sorondo Aguirre (1946 - 2014) was a historian,
anthropologist , ethnographer and author of more than twenty books. He also
co-authored several collective works and dozens of articles in professional
journals, mainly on the history and culture of the Basque Country.
Although an industrial engineer by profession, he is best
known for his work in history and lore of the Basque-Navarre area, especially
in Guipúzcoa , the northern Castilla-Leon and the Cantabrian fringe. He was a regular
contributor to the press and media as a science writer in The Basque Journal,
as well as the Journal of Ethnology and Ethnography of Navarre or the
International Journal of Basque Studies.
He is the author of the excellent book La Boina Vasca, which was (unfortunately) a limited publication of 500 copies only (I feel very lucky to have been given a copy by the publisher).
