Nicolas Tenorio Cerero

Nicolas was born in Villalba del Alcor, Spain. Orphaned at age 5, Cerero moved to Seville.[2] He studied at the University of Seville between 1881 and 1886, where he pursued a legal career.[2] After graduating he worked as a journalist for several years.

He later became a judge; his first assignment in 1897 was in Havana, Cuba (a Spanish colony). His term as a judge was interrupted by the Spanish–American War that led to Cuban independence.

Upon returning to Spain his assignment as a judge ended and he pursued a degree in history. His studies included research of important archives in Seville, including the General Archive of the Indies. His law practice and journalistic pursuits eventually led back to additional service as a judge. His work as a judge came in multiple regions of Spain, including Galicia, Murcia, Cadiz, Burgos and Seville.

He was a secretary-bookkeeper of the Cultural club of Seville from 1889 to 1893. He was elected to the Royal (Real) Sevillian Academy of Good Letters in 1900. He was an editor of a magazine, The Sevillian Newscaster (El Noticiero Sevillano), from its founding in 1893, and worked for other publications, such as The Future (El Porvenir).

In his second assignment as Judge, in October 1900 he moved from Seville to Viana do Bolo (Ourense, and Galicia). He later practiced in Vienna until 1906, when he moved to Vilamartín de Valdeorras (Ourense, Galicia). in 1910, he moved to Mule (Murcia), where he practiced in Cadiz. Later he moved to America as fiscal Lieutenant of the Hearing. In 1917 he finished his judicial career in Seville, as a civil justice. Parallel to his judicial career, he devoted himself to historical studies, writing books about the medieval epoch in Seville, and its juridical and political institutions. He died in Seville in 1930.

He published books on sociology and anthropology. Named favorite son of Seville, his work was reissued especially The Galician Village La Aldea Gallega (La Aldea Gallega), due to the fact that it is the first anthropological study written on rural Galicia.
