Análisis cuantitativo y estudio del fondo mexicano (siglos XVI al XVIII) del Catálogo Colectivo del Patrimonio Bibliográfico Español

Abstract

The Collective Catalogue of the Spanish Bibliographic Heritage (CCPBE) is and important source in bibliometric research to locate and study works published in Mexico in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and preserved in Spanish libraries. The study specifically analyzes the 939 books identified and located, providing a definition of the number of documents by year of publication, author productivity, printer, subject matter and language. The number of copies of each document is indicated as is the library holding each copy. These data are cross-checked against the Mexican Rare Books Catalogue to determine coincidences and discrepancies.
