Bernardo Quintana Mansilla (1916–2012) was a Chilean mythographer and physician. He is best known for his work in collecting and recording the Chilote mythology of Chiloé Archipelago in southern Chile.[1] His use of radiography earned him a reputation of warlock in Chiloé.[1] Quintana was a Rotarian and mason and was politically aligned with the Radical Party.[1] He published his book Chiloé mitológico in 1972 and this book was approved the same year to be used in Chilean elementary schools.[1]
