El gironí Botet i Sisó, prohom de la Renaixença

Abstract

Joaquim Botet i Sisó was an intellectual of the time of the national resumption of Catalonia who played a prominent role as a scholar and promoter of cultural institutions, and also as a politician. His works on Empúries and the province of Girona are and will always be useful, and his work as a numismatist has not yet been surpassed. Despite this it is not known nor has it been recognized as it deserves.

Joaquim Botet i Sisó fou un intel·lectual del temps de la represa nacional de Catalunya que va tenir un paper destacat com a estudiós i impulsor d’institucions culturals, i també com a polític. Les seves obres sobre Empúries i la província de Girona són i seran sempre útils, i la seva tasca com a numismàtic encara no ha estat superada. Malgrat això no és conegut ni tampoc no ha estat reconegut com es mereix.
