Summary

José Ignacio, a Jesuit born in Azkoitia, "one of the greatest bibliographers in the 19th century" in the opinion of José Antonio Arana Martija, was a staunch friend of Antoine d´Abbadie for almost 25 years. He sent d´Abbadie almost 100 letters and the latter answered with about 60. Furthermore, they managed to meet in three or four occasions. In Arana´s vast work, EGUNARIA, that I have used, there is no mention on the content of such correspondence, as he only occasionally comments that he has received a letter or that he has written one. He was, without doubt, one of D´ABBADIE´s most habitual correspondents.
