Abstract

For a long time Basque historiography has considered that the ironworking industries suffered a clear crisis during the Seventeenth Century. However, a deepen analysis of the original sources, beyond mere testimonies and signs, shows that the Seventeenth Century was a dynamic period for the activity, with continuous innovations, changes and adjustments. This suggests that Guipuzcoan ironworking industries maintained its prestige around the world.
