Abstract
La historia de la imprenta tipográfica en la Nueva España es un tema aparentemente bien conocido y por tanto bien trabajado, pero lo cierto es que todavía falta mucho por conocer y, en parte, se debe a que los impresores no dejaron muchos testimonios de sus actividades y otros más se han perdido con el tiempo. Este texto analiza el nivel de conocimiento que actualmente tenemos sobre esta práctica profesional que fue responsable de la producción bibliográfica durante casi trescientos años. Nos interesa enfatizar aquellas certezas que se han repetido con el tiempo, y de las cuales no tenemos ninguna noticia documental o bibliográfica conservada como la actividad gremial o la aplicación de las leyes de imprenta en territorio americano. Se pretende trasladar nuestra interpretación histórica hacia las prácticas culturales de los hombres y las mujeres que producían una mercancía tanto alabada como perseguida.
Abstract
The history of the typographic printing press in the New Spain is a well-known topic that has been thoroughly examined. It is remarkable, however, that printers did not leave behind many first-hand reports of their professional practice. This study examines current knowledge of New Spain printing and typesetting practices, which is responsible for three-hundred years of bibliographic production. The study, moreover, takes a critical look at those accepted “certainties” regarding printing and typesetting, which in fact have little bibliographical or documentary support, for example, the wide-spread assumptions regarding guild practices. The study proposes a historical interpretation of the cultural practices of men and women.
