Abstract

The history of the study and cultivation of the Hebrew language in Early Modern Latin America remains practically unknown terrain. This article proposes a first-hand and systematic –albeit not comprehensive– contact with this area of research, through the study of bibliographical evidence found in the documents available –printed works and manuscripts regarding both the use and commerce of books in that time and space– many of which are unpublished. This area of research presents interesting research perspectives.
