L'Academia de Bones Lletres des de la seva fundació l'any 1700 : inauguració conjunta de les corporacions catalanes del curs acadèmic 2000-2001.

According to La guerra de la ploma [a book review by Joaquim Albareda of the book: Alabrús, Rosa Maria. Felip V i l'opinió dels catalans. Pagès Editors. Lleida, 2001.] this Academy traces its origins to the Acadèmia dels Desconfiats (Academy of the Untrusting), founded in 1700.
According to CONTEXTOS MARC LITERARI (a page on Jacint Verdaguer) the Acadèmia de Bones Lletres de Barcelona was founded in 1729 as a continuation of the Academia de los Desconfiados (the Castilian name for Acadèmia dels Desconfiats), which had by then disappeared; in 1752 the new Academy received Royal approval, becoming the Reial Acadèmia de Bones Lletres, whose tasks, among others, were the preparation of a dictionary of the Catalan language.
There is an entry for the 1752 Academy with its name in Castilian (rather than Catalan): Real Academia de Buenas Letras de Barcelona at the Instituto de España website.
