A social history of books in Spanish America which traces the reach of reading material in late colonial Peru.
Knowledge of the Pragmatici
Knowledge of the pragmatici sheds new light on pragmatic normative literature (mainly from the religious sphere), a genre crucial for the formation of normative orders in early modern Ibero-America. Long underrated by legal historical scholarship, these media – manuals for confessors, catechisms, and moral theological literature – selected and localised normative knowledge for the colonial worlds and thus shaped the language of normativity. The eleven chapters of this book explore the circulation and the uses of pragmatic normative texts in the Iberian peninsula, in New Spain, Peru, New Granada and Brazil. The book reveals the functions and intellectual achievements of pragmatic literature, which condensed normative knowledge, drawing on medieval scholarly practices of ‘epitomisation’, and links the genre with early modern legal culture. Contributors are: Manuela Bragagnolo, Agustín Casagrande, Otto Danwerth, Thomas Duve, José Luis Egío, Renzo Honores, Gustavo César Machado Cabral, Pilar Mejía, Christoph H. F. Meyer, Osvaldo Moutin, and David Rex Galindo.
Jesuit Libraries
The Society of Jesus began a tradition of collecting books and curating those collections at its foundation. These libraries were important to both their European sites and their missions; they helped build a global culture as part of early modern European evangelization. When the Society was suppressed, the Jesuits’ possessions were seized and redistributed, by transfer to other religious orders, confiscation by governments, or sale to individuals. These possessions were rarely returned, and when, in 1814, the Society was restored, the Jesuits had to begin to build new libraries from scratch. Their practices of librarianship, though not their original libraries, left an intellectual legacy which still informs library science today. While there are few European Jesuit universities left, institutions of higher learning administered by the Society of Jesus remain important to the intellectual development of students and communities around the world, supported by large, rich library collections.

The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500–c. 1820)
The Dominicans in the Americas and the Philippines (c. 1500–c. 1820) is part of a renewal of interest in the global history of the Dominican Order. Many of the essays were carefully selected among some of the papers presented at the III International Conference on the History of the Order of Preachers in the Americas, a gathering that stands in continuity with the conferences of Mexico (2013) and Bogotá (2016). This book, the contributors of which are active researchers specializing in the history of the Order of Preachers in Latin America, is organized in four parts: Women and the Order of Preachers; “Benditos Bienes”: Libraries and Material Patrimony; Missions, Devotional, and Daily...
Inventario general- fondo documental
La Biblioteca Mario Carvajal de la Universidad del Valle, con fecha del mes de noviembre de 2008, recibió en donación el Fondo Documental que conforma el Archivo Personal del dirigente sindical Ignacio Torres Giraldo, compuesto básicamente por documentos de carácter privado y originales de obras de su autoría. Son documentos que permiten, sin duda, conocer la historia del Movimiento Obrero colombiano y la vida de los núcleos urbanos transitados por este líder nacido en el Viejo Caldas de 1893, especialmente durante las décadas de los años 20, 30 y 40 del siglo XX1 . La Biblioteca, como depositaria de dicho Archivo, que pasa a ser Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación, preserva su legado histórico, político, social y cultural para beneficio de la comunidad universitaria, vallecaucana y del país en general. Al hacerse responsable de su custodia, la Biblioteca fijó unos compromisos de cara a su mejor difusión y entre ellos, como prioritario y previo paso a los demás, el de su organización y descripción documental.
Ciencia, lengua y cultura nacional
Esta obra analiza y reconstruye cómo la ciencia del lenguaje se utilizó como herramienta por intelectuales conservadores en Colombia entre 1867 y 1911, y la repercusión que esto tuvo sobre la configuración de la cultura nacional. Estos buscaban promover e impulsar una lengua “pura y uniforme” que estuviera cimentada sobre valores cristianos y sobre la exaltación del patrimonio cultural hispánico.
