Studies of Seville bookbinders from the second half of the 19th century are very scarce, only a few biographical notes having been published. The most important saga of a bindery is very possibly that of the Márquez family, the most important members of which were Luis Márquez y Echeandía and his father Antonio Márquez y Ramírez. Our work focuses on providing a fuller biography of three generations of this family of bookbinders, especially of Luis, identifying its workshops, categorizing his material and his decorative techniques, categorizing his signatures, and identifying the decorative tools he used as well as the location of his bindery. A comparing is also made of the tools used in bindings mainly found in the Casa Velázquez Library with those used in the workshop of the modern Seville bookbinder, Sebastián Rodríguez Vázquez, where they are currently to be found.

In 1766 the Council of Castile ordered the inspector of presses Juan Curiel to prepare a report on calendars. In order to do this, he instructed his deputies to examine the provision and distribution of these items in their respective provinces. An analysis of their responses shows how effective this system of delegating to deputies was in providing information, while the reports themselves cast light on the trade in, and distribution of, such printed matter.

During the civil war, death was considered a precious resource to legitimize and consolidate the position of the rebels. The greater importance of the deceased, the greater sacredness and legitimacy of the war and of Franco. José Antonio was the dead most important of the Civil War. From his memory they were woven all kinds of stories reaching extremes of legend. The Church and the Falange were active players in the «National» side, active players in the persistent dispute of the so called «death policies». [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

this paper offers a descriptive analysis of the treatment of Romanticism in three works of Colombian literature history: Evolución de la novela en Colombia (1952) by Antonio Curcio Altamar, Manual de literatura colombiana (1988) published by Procultura and Planeta, and Historia de la poesía colombiana (2001), edited by Casa de Poesía Silva. The study of these works allows establishing the logic implied in the different points of view of the authors when they approach the concept of Romanticism. Based on those results, an evaluation is accomplished in order to define if these uses of the concept are pertinent for the literary studies. This analysis is based on the idea that every history is a construction and therefore, it supposes an interpretation and the proposal of a model to represent a reality, in this case a reality that exists in the literary works produced in a certain period of time.

As the Jesuits showed their devotions to father Antonio Núñez de Miranda (1618-1695) through various buildings, great prestige and many alms, it is difficult to admit that he would have had problems in his own Order. Nevertheless, the thesis of this article is that father Antonio was much less powerful within the home than in Mexico City. Our point of departure is the recent discovery of J.A. Rodríguez Garrido in Lima: two eulogies of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz that prove the great power of Sor Juana’s admirers in 1691, and they also teach us that the young and brilliant Jesuit Juan Antonio de Oviedo, denounced until now as a supporter of Nuñez, was a friend and once an accomplice of Sor Juana. A more prudent reading of the hagiography of the deceased father (1702) leaves to be seen a series of accidents and anomalies. We know that in the Peninsula, Sor Juana had an intelligent friend, Diego Calleja; it also has to be taken into account the unexpected and enthusiastic praises of the three Jesuits in the paratexts of the second volume of the works of the poet (1692).
