Maír José Benardete (born 1895 in Çanakkale, Turkey—died 1989 in the United States) was a scholar of Sephardic studies and was a long-time Professor of Spanish and Sephardic Studies at Brooklyn College. He was a past Director of The Hispanic Institute at Columbia University's Sephardic Studies Section in the late 1920s. The Institute was also known as Casa Hispánica.[1] Early life and educationBenardete was born in the Ottoman Empire, in the city of Çanakkale, on Dardanalles, Turkey. He was the eldest of nine children, and came from a Ladino (Judaeo-Spanish)-speaking family. At the age of eight, he contracted a serious illness that left him unable to walk for months. He spent his year-long convalescence among the Sephardic women of his community, absorbing the Judeo-Spanish folklore and language that would later serve him well in his career as a Sephardic scholar.[2] In 1910, Benardete immigrated to the United States, to live with an uncle living in Cincinnati.[3] Benardete also went by the names Mair José Benardete; Mair José Benadrete; M. J. Benadete; Meyer Benardete; and Mercedes Benardete. CareerUnder Benardete's direction, the Sephardic Section of Casa Hispanica hosted or sponsored lectures on Sephardic civilization, generated articles for the institute's "Revista Hispanica Moderna,", published a Ladino/Spanish commemorative volume on the medieval Spanish-Jewish poet, Yehuda Halevi, and staged dramatic performances in Judaeo-Spanish. Benardete's doctoral dissertation, "Hispanic Culture and Character of the Sephardic Jews," was first published by the Hispanic Institute in 1953. {{Importance section|date=May 2017}}In 1962, two Sephardic activists, Louis N. Levy and David N. Barocas, published "Studies in Honor of M.J. Benadrete." Personal lifeBenardete produced three academically-successful sons; Seth Benardete, who was an American classicist and philosopher, José Benardete, who was also a philosopher.,[4] and Diego Benardete, who is a professor of mathematics at the University of Hartford.[5] Benardete's wife was a professor in the English department at Brooklyn College.[6] References1. ^Mair Jose Benadrete Biography 2. ^{{cite web |author=Aviva Ben-Ur.|title=" Benardete, Maír José."
