Formalities that should precede printing and selling books from the Kingdom and for processing foreign ones

Full title original language:
Diligencias que deben preceder a la impresion y venta de libros en del Reyno, y para el curso de los extrangeros

Abstract:
The 1502 pragmatica became the earliest attempt to produce a standardized uniform scheme to regulate the issue of books in the Iberian Peninsula. It is also an evocative reference point for contemporary Spanish scholars when constructing historical narratives of the regulation of the printing press in Spain.
