Abstract


The innovative printing proposals of Pedro de Disses are studied in relation to the necessities of the seventeenth-century Spanish press on the basis of original documentation from the Council of Castile (1685). A series of new data allows us to know this inventor, establishing his Burgundian origin, his dedication to the art of ivory, and his links with the house of Juan José of Austria, as well as with Eugene de Miranda. The new factory of 1685 is presented as an aspiration of authors belonging to the Spanish Republic of Letters, proposing the need to study the contribution of authors and typographers to the construction of national memory.
