Not to dwell too much, among the influences received by Menenedez Pelayo we have selected the three authors he publicly described as his teachers and that they were so in the fields of philosophy, philology and history.
In this section we include his two literary executors: Adolfo Bonilla and Ramón Menéndez Pidal, Eloy Bullón, for his absolute coincidence in terms of the principles and above all in the aims of the research, and what is more the everyday life of Don Marcelino as director of the Royal Academy of History and of Don Eloy as a librarian of the Facultative Body and director of the Library of the learned house, as well as his self-proclaimed disciple Unamuno and, finally, the librarian at this library who undoubtedly feels the spiritual heir of the great sage of Cantabria.
