Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1713 According to its website, the Real Academia Española (RAE) was founded on the initiative of Juan Manuel Fernandez Pacheco, marquis de Villena in 1713 as an academy dedicated to preserving the purity of the Spanish language. Its website also indicates that King Felipe V approved its constitution on 1714, October 3 and placed the Academy under Royal protection at that time.
Its website indicates that from 1726 - 1739, the Academy published the great work of Spanish lexicography, the Diccionario de Autoridades. From 1780 - 2001, the Academy also published numerous editions of the Diccionario de la Lengua Española.
The name Real Academia Española is found as early as 1714 in the Bibliot. Nat. España cat. in a record with the following title: Oracion que la Real Academia Española hizo a la Reyna... doña Isabel Farnesio... en ocasión de darla el parabien de su casamiento y feliz llegada a estos Reynos. It also appears in titles published in the following years: 1715, 1725, 1735, 1750, 1759, 1771, 1780, 1783, 1789, 1791, 1796, 1801, 1815, 1818, 1820, 1823, & 1829, among others.
There are, however, publications with the shorter name Academia Española from 1793, 1804, & 1826. The fact that this name was used during the same period as the longer name (with the Royal designation) suggests that the shorter name was used informally, and was not an official name of the Academy.
