Francisco Antonio González Oña, c1830. Spanish Hebraist and priest Francisco Antonio González Oña (1773-1833) was Doctor of Theology, chaplain of the Royal Regiment of Guards de Corps, confessor of Queen Maria Christina, Professor of Arabic and Hebrew at Alcalá University, rector of the hospital de la Concepción in La Latina, senior librarian at the Biblioteca Real (Royal Library), lifetime secretary of the Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy) since 1814 and treasurer of the Real Academia de la Historia (Royal Academy of History). He wears upon his habit the crosses of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and the Order of Charles III, which he also wears sewn to his cape. The latter was granted to him by Decree in 1830, according to the file held at the National Historical Archive. He is depicted in ecclesiastical dress, holding his black cappello romano in his left hand. On the table, books and a documents folder allude not only to his intellectual status and his vocation as a librarian, but also to his studies as a theologian, since the only readable title says, 'old and new testaments in Spanish', on which he rests his right hand.
