Simón de Tovar y Arias Montano piden libros a la imprenta plantiniana: hacia la reconstrucción de las lecturas de un círculo humanista sevillano (II)

Abstract

In this contribution, I continue the study of the original lists of books ordered by Arias Montano together with some friends between 1592 and 1593, documents held by the Museum Plantin-Moretus of Antwerp. Basically, this work consists of the identification of the books ordered; moreover, it is also important to know which books were sent or not, information that is available in the accounting registers of the ancient archive. The final aim is to reconstruct, in a final summary which will include this and the others articles concerning to Francisco Pacheco, Sánchez de Oropesa and Fernando de Herrera, the reading world and interest of Arias Montano's Sevillian circle.
