Early Modern Print Culture: Spain and Latin America

This presentation offers an introduction to the book cultures of Spain and Latin America in the early modern period. Working hands-on with books printed between 1500 and 1700, attendees will view original examples of works of anatomy, botany, devotion, law, fiction, and poetry from the Hanna Holborn Gray Special Collections Research Center at the Regenstein Library as well as authors such as Miguel de Cervantes, Garcilaso de la Vega el Inca, and María de Zayas. Considered together, this varied array of printed objects provides a unique window into the daily lives, creative accomplishments, and knowledge-making ambitions of early modern people in different regions of the world.
