Sorry - I don't have an English translation. I can't vouch for its
reliability either. But the information was apparently unearthed by
one Jose Vilar who was secretary to the municipality of Monistrol -
where Amat lived and worked throughout his life. Vilar published his
findings in 1918 but I have never been able to trace these. Emilio
Pujol presumably thought the information reliable as he has quoted most
of it in his article on Amat - which is where I got the original
reference from.
The photos look pretty genuine and apparently there was a Plaza del Dr.
Carles Amat and Amat was responsible for installing the drinking
fountain. The point is that he was medical officer to the town and the
monastery of Montserrat throughout his life and held various municipal
offices in the town's administration which why there is so much
information about him including documents which he signed.
There used to be a web page with information about him too - which I
downloaded. This is in Catalan. He is obviously regarded as a local
hero.
Whether all the documents survived the Civil War I have never been able
to discover.

for anyone who is interested I have posted on my
[4]www.earlyguitar.ning site a rare article about Joan Carles Amat
which I think very few people have seen - at least in the English
speaking world. It is the source of most of the biographical
information about him.
