Abstract

GARCIA, IDALIA. Knowledge Shared between Generations: Circulation of Used Book in New Spain during 17 th and 18 th Century. Front. hist. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp.196-220. ISSN 2027-4688.  https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.672.

Commerce and Circulation of books in New Spain is not a new research topic. However, studies focused on booksellers, merchants and the offers they would give on books to the colonial socieare limited. They consolidated a market, fed by commercial and family networks, who participated in the Carrera de Indias. The study and comparison of new testimonies, both bibliographic and documental, with preliminary researches, allows to understand a constant traffic of second hand books. These evidences nemodify our appraisal on a learned culture, thought to be only accessible for those who could pay a costly merchandise.

Keywords : book's circulation; New Spain; booksellers; Inquisition; book market; used books.
