Las redes comerciales del libro en la colonia: «peruleros» y libreros en la Carrera de Indias (1590-1620)/

Abstract

This study examines a sample of book shipments sent across the Atlantic from Seville to American ports. The shipments comprised printed works from Europe destined for the Viceroyalty of Peru. In this trading activity an essential role was played by the merchants who received orders to buy specific works, which they then sent to private individuals, merchants, and booksellers established in Peru.
