José Mármol

Died in 1871

José Mármol was born in Buenos Aires on 2 December 1817, according to Britannica; the 2017 scholarly edition hesitates between 1817 and 1818. An opponent of Rosas, he was imprisoned in 1839, six days in irons, then went into exile in Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro for thirteen years. Returning after the dictator's fall in 1852, he sat in the Senate, was sent to Brazil, directed the National Library from 1858 and lost his sight. He died in Buenos Aires on 9 August 1871.
