Bonaventura Ubach i Medir, or Buenaventura Ubach Medir,[1] (Barcelona, 2 April 1879 - Montserrat, 19 February 1960) was a Benedictine monk of the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, orientalist and biblical scholar.
As a traveler and student of the territory and languages of the Middle East, he compiled a large collection of archeological material.[2] It is exhibited in the Museum of Montserrat and was a decisive contributor to its creation. In 1929, he began the project of the Biblia de Montserrat, a translation of the Bible into the Catalan language.[3]
