Atisbos sobre la imprenta italiana en la Nueva España en el siglo XVI
Gazes on the Italian printing in New Spain in the 16th century
Abstract
The arrival of the printing in the Nueva España followed the same concerns and procedures of the first printing presses in Spain in the 1470’s. The differences due to the specific conditions and needs produced certain particularities, yet the influence of German and Italian printers and booksellers remained very strong in the first decades in Spain and its territories. This text aims to recall the importance of certain Italian printers and especially those of the Giunti family, whose books were an important part of conventual libraries throughout New Spain.
La llegada de la imprenta en Nueva España se realizó bajo los mismos presupuestos y preocupaciones que la fundación de la imprenta en España en el siglo XV. Aunque por las diferencias contextuales aparecieron particularidades, en los primeros tiempos fue decisiva la influencia alemana e italiana tal como lo había sido en la península. Este texto pretende rastrear la influencia de algunos impresores italianos y sobre todo de la familia Giunti en este virreinato, cuyas publicaciones enriquecieron muchas bibliotecas conventuales.
