Pere Maria Orts i Bosch (5 July 1921 – 26 February 2015)[1] was a Valencian writer, historian, researcher, heraldist and art collector.
His main goal was to find documents and works of art that were actually from the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, hoping to complete Valencian patrimony and part of its lost history.
He searched for unique objects in libraries, archives and museums outside Valencian Country, eventually donating most of them to Valencian public institutions, particularly to: Among his other donations were 3 tapestries, 7 chalices, several candelabrums, 9 pieces of furniture, and even a silver writing desk.
[2] Works Orts wrote himself included: Additionally, he wrote many articles about the history of Benidorm and the toponymy of the Marina Baixa in a review of the local holidays of Benidorm, many prologues for other books, and articles for collective works.
He also collaborated with studies about genealogy and heraldry in the Great Encyclopedia of the Valencian Region (1972–77).
