Spanish Copyright Law for translating a book published in 1904: Help!!

Hello,

If you know anything about the copyright laws in Spain, I will very much appreciate your help finding out if there is any problem for one of our professors to translate a book published in Spain in 1904. Will he need permission, or will this work have passed into the Public Domain by now? If you know of any resources that will provide me with this answer (preferably in English, though the professor obviously reads Spanish), that would be a great start.

Many thanks,

Ramona
