Sumario:The knowledge of book and libraries in New Spain is scarce in comparision with the bibliographical and documental sources preserved in Mexico of the colonial past. Contemporary historiographic perspectives show the information wealth that can be obtained of original sources for reconstructing one cultural moment in History.
