Abstract

The convent of Santa Cruz of Dominican nuns in Vitoria-Gasteiz preserves, within its textile heritage, four silk stamped thesis sheets, all from the eighteenth century. The present paper shows a historical and artistic analysis of these printed pieces in Mexico, Bilbao and Zaragoza, unique, no doubt, for the textile support of their stamping. This sort of printed matter, product of academic events at university and convents, gave important support to the engraving, occupying good part of the activity of gravers and printers, who tried to capture in its decoration the same ostentation that was displayed in academic acts.
