The books of D. Pedro Antonio de Aragón (1611-1690) in Peralada's Palace Library
Abstract
The aim of this article is to give knowledge of the peraladense library, one of the most important libraries in Catalonia, due to the Rocabertí’s brothers and at the same time spread away the books from Pedro Antonio de Aragón preserved in it. He left his library in legacy to Poblet Monastery and it was kept there for two and a half centuries. Unfortunately, due to the Desamortizacion Law issued during the Trienio Liberal (1820-1823), the library was confiscated. As a result, a great part of its funds were spoiled and the other scattered away.
