Biography

Censinos was born in Seville on November 24, 1882. Through his father's paternal line, he is related to the Cansino Family and Rita Hayworth.[1]

Cansinos was a polyglot; he translated The Arabian Nights into Spanish, as well as the works of Dostoyevsky, and the complete works of Goethe and Shakespeare for the publisher Aguilar. He was among the contributors of the Madrid-based avant-garde magazine Prometeo.[2]

In the lectures he gave in 1967 at Harvard, Jorge Luis Borges mentioned him as one of his masters, and expressed wonder to the fact that he has been forgotten.
