The presentation will address the circulation of authors and works in 16th-century New Spain based on the material study of the surviving specimens of various particular libraries, including those of Zumarraga, Pedraza, Mendoza, Gonzalez, de la Fuente and some members of indigenous lelyt of the College of Tlatelolco, as well as the documentation related to these characters. The analysis will allow to reconstruct the flows of books and readings that defined the early years of the viceroyal society, and show how many of these identified works passed to the fledgling Franciscan, Dominican and Augustinian convents, which thus completes the cultural panorama, both profane and religious, of the time.
