Description
Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, the great reforming mind of the Spanish Enlightenment, left his books and papers to the institute he founded in Gijon. Julio Somoza, his biographer and the keeper of his memory, catalogued them in 1883: manuscripts, notable printed books, letters, the working library of a man who tried to reform Spanish agriculture, education and law and was imprisoned for it. In 1936 the institute burned. This catalogue is now, for a large part of the collection, the only record that it existed at all — which is the fate that makes such volumes matter long after the shelves they describe are gone.
