Father Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda, also known (in Catalan) as Mossèn Alcover (pronounced [muˈsɛn əlkuˈve]; 2 February 1862 in Santa Cirga, Manacor – 8 January 1932 in Palma) was a modernist Majorcan writer, who wrote on a wide range of subjects including the Catholic Church, folklore and linguistics.

From this date, he undertook to collect the fables and folklore of Majorca, which he began to publish in 1880 in various journals under the pseudonym Jordi d'es Racó.

[1] In 1906, by his initiative and under his presidency, the first Congrés Internacional de la Llengua Catalana (International Congress of the Catalan Language) was held.

It was finished by his collaborator Francesc de Borja i Moll and the Catalan folklorist and lexicographer Irene Rocas i Romaguera.

His literary work focused on linguistic research, history, popular customs and folklore collections, various biographies, travel narratives and a novel.
