Historian of medicine at the Institut Interuniversitari López Piñero,
Universitat de València, who has written at least two biographical pieces
on [[entity-ludwik-rajchman|Ludwik Rajchman]] — a 2014 *Mètode* essay and
a 2021 *Sabers en acció* piece for the Institut d'Estudis Catalans — both
explicitly citing [[entity-marta-aleksandra-balinska|Marta Balinska]]'s
biography of Rajchman in their sources.

Matters to this vault as a recurring named source: his two pieces are the
uncredited author behind the *Mètode* citation in
[[claim-ludwik-rajchman-squeezed-out-by-both-cold-war-blocs]] and one of
three independent lineages corroborating the FBI file's 1957 dating in
[[claim-secondary-accounts-of-balinskas-biography-corroborate-fbi-files-1957-rajchman-dating]]
— though the two Barona pieces likely share text with each other and are
not treated as independent of one another, only of the other sources in
that corroboration.
