Full title:
Privilege for printing music for the Indies

Full title original language:
Privilegio de impresión de libros corales con destino a las Indias

Abstract:
Book privileges also crossed the Atlantic Ocean to reach the New World in the sixteenth century. This commentary describes some of their trajectories and the ways in which Spanish colonial policies led to an increase in the granting of privileges for the book trade in the Indies. It reveals that colonial book privileges were produced by specific agencies and circulated through their own singular routes.
