This work attempts to relate the world of historical literature to the reading reality of Madrid society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. From 1550 to 1560, the necessary conditions were forged whereby a city like Madrid, without a significant history of printing but with a great political, economic and demographic projection, became a reference point of written culture. The production and distribution of printed material favoured disciplines like history, which became an instrument of political strategy and a means of achieving a collective recovery of national consciousness. Through education about the past, it was necessary to construct the present and order the future. The complex fabric of Madrid society, halfway between oral practice and the written testimony, transformed strategies of historiographical consumption that adhered to modern forms of understanding the discipline.
