Cipriano Muñoz y Manzano, 2nd Count of la Viñaza, (Zaragoza, 3 October 1862 – Biarritz, France, 24 November 1933) was a Spanish diplomat and academic who served as a deputy to the Spanish Congress and published notable works on linguistics, philology, and art history.

Biography

He was the son of Cipriano Muñoz y Ostaled, first Conde de La Viñaza, a Spanish countship awarded on 27 November 1871 by the brief-reigning King Amadeo I of Spain. He studied Law and Philosophy at Zaragoza University and earned a Doctoral degree in Philosophy from the University of Madrid.

Muñoz was Congressional deputy for Ejea de los Caballeros, Zaragoza, from 1891 to 1893, 1893 to 1894, and 1894 to 1896. He served later as Spanish Ambassador in Russia and Italy. He became Senator for the province of Huesca and, on 15 November 1910, a grandee of Spain.[citation needed]

He was enrolled a member of the Royal Spanish Academy in 1895, aged 33, lecturing at his appointment reception on satirical–political poetry in Spanish literature.[1] He was a member also of the Royal Spanish Academy of History, lecturing at his appointment reception on the Chroniclers of the Kingdom of Aragon. He was awarded the Great Cross with Diamonds of the Russian Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky, and received honors also from Portugal, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Peru, Serbia, Bulgaria, and other countries.[citation needed]

He died in Biarritz, France, aged 71.[2]
