Abstract

Ricardo Zorraquín Becú is considered one of the greatest Latin-American historians of Legal History. The present document pretends to review some of the aspects of his life –as a professor and investigator– and his connection with the magazine “Revista del Instituto de Historia del Derecho Ricardo Levene”. In turn, we pretend to give an original but brief perspective of his relationship with Alamiro de Ávila Martel and the magazine “Revista Chilena de Historia del Derecho”.
