Eladio Vergara y Vergara (1821–1888) was a Colombian writer, historian, chronicler and cultural administrator of the nineteenth century.[1] He is best known for his work on colombia historial and literary institutions, his works on the Capilla del Sagrario de Bogotá and the epic poem "Guerra de Neo-Granada" first introduced in the political magazine "La Matricaria" created by prestigious writer Jose Maria Vergara y Vergara, his brother.
He was the son of Ignacio Manuel de Vergara, who preceded him as mayordomo-tesorero of the Capilla del Sagrario. Vergara belonged to a prominent New Granadan family deeply embedded in ecclesiastical, cultural, and intellectual life since the colonial period.
He received a classical education typical of Bogotá´s learned elites in the mid-nineteenth century, grounded in latin and ecclesiastical history and large colonial archives.[2]
