Description
Seville printed the first accounts of the Indies, the licences, the sailing instructions — whatever the Casa de Contratacion needed and whatever the returning ships made men curious about. Joaquin Hazanas y la Rua, archivist and professor in the city, reconstructed its typography from the books themselves: who printed what, with which types, under whose privilege, and what became of the presses. The method is that of Jose Toribio Medina, whom Spanish-language bibliography had by then taught to work from surviving copies rather than from catalogues. Indispensable for anyone tracing a Seville imprint.
