Abstract
Our own ability to understand the different cultures of print on the Iberian Peninsula - even in very broad terms - has been seriously hindered by the lack of any comprehensive short title catalogue. Until the recent publication of Iberian Books , there was no Spanish equivalent to Pollard and Redgrave's English Short Title Catalogue , first published in 1926 and since a fundamental research tool for all scholars of earlymodern Britain and Ireland. The first known book to be printed in Spain was the Sinodal de Aguilafuente , published on behalf of the local bishop in the city of Segovia in June 1472. One striking characteristic of printing on the Peninsula was the overwhelming predominance of publications in the vernacular over those in Latin. Spain had a relatively well developed and well disciplined printing industry, albeit one that concentrated predominantly but not exclusively on the local and national markets. Keywords: Iberian Books ; Iberian Peninsula; Latin; printing industry; Spain
