Abstract
This recent finding narrates the experiences of a well-known Valencian figure in Madrid linked to the Church, in the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. These are the memoirs of Andreu Ivars i Cardona, who was born in Benissa and entered the Franciscan order convent of Sant Esperit (Gilet, Camp de Morvedre) in 1900. He was one of the founders of the Archivo Ibero-Americano journal, based in Madrid, where he resided from 1920 to 1936, and wrote numerous historical and cultural articles related to Valencian culture and beyond. It is also worth mentioning that he was one of those who devoted the most research to Francesc Eiximenis, the well-known medieval Franciscan from Girona. The diary is kept in the Convent dels Àngels, which belongs to the Franciscan order, in Russafa, València, and now we present its study and edition.
