| Summary: | Ignacio Boix y Blay was a bookseller, printer and editor who displayed an intense activity during the second third of the 19th Century, mainly in Spain, but also in some strategic points of its overseas territories and Europe. Boix is a paradigmatic exponent of the modern Spanish publishing and typographic market, in a transitional stage between the ancient guild practices of the Old Regime and the creation of the new modern literary market. In fact, he is present in almost any exploration on the 19th Century book publishing and printing; however, no comprehensive study on the topic has been conducted so far and the scattered information available about him is insufficient to understand the scope of this figure. To fill that gap, a journey through the biographical, editorial and investing trajectory of Boix is offered through hemerographic, archival and bibliographical research. The aim of this study is to place Boix on the map of the 19th Century Hispanic edition. |
