Full title original language:
Privilegio de impresión de las obras de Antonio de Nebrija

Abstract:
This specific privilege held an honoured place within the splendour of Spanish book production because of their outstanding rarity. The grammarian, orator and philologist Antonio de Nebrija, or Lebrija (1444-1522) was possibly the first “author” to obtain a book privilege in Spain.
