Antonio de Nebrija, a Spanish scholar, wrote the 'Gramática de la lengua castellana,' the first comprehensive grammar of the Spanish language, as part of his efforts to standardize and promote Spanish during a time of significant political and cultural change in Spain. In the late 15th century, Spain was undergoing unification under the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, following the Reconquista. Nebrija's grammar served not only as a linguistic tool but also as a reflection of the new national identity being forged in Spain. The presentation to Queen Isabella I highlighted the importance of her support for education and the arts. Nebrija aimed to demonstrate how a unified language would help in consolidating political power and cultural coherence across the newly unified territories. The work itself included grammatical rules and structures that would serve future generations and establish norms for the Spanish language. By presenting this grammar to the Queen, Nebrija sought royal patronage, assuring its survival and implementation in schools and administration throughout Spain. This moment underscored the intertwining of language, culture, and politics in shaping the nation.
