Alcedo’s Bibliotheca Americana (1807) is a unique document of the constitution of a transatlantic knowledge space in the late 18th century. In this bio-bibliographical work thousands of authors and texts are mentioned. The vast majority are Americans: we find indigenous and Creole authors as well as American ‘new citizens’ who recorded indigenous and autochthonous knowledge in their texts in translated form. The article focuses on the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion of works and writers in and from the library, also in comparison to those underlying well-known European compendia and early modern Spanish bio-bibliographies.

摘要

Alcedo’s Bibliotheca Americana (1807) is a unique document of the constitution of a transatlantic knowledge space in the late 18th century. In this bio-bibliographical work thousands of authors and texts are mentioned. The vast majority are Americans: we find indigenous and Creole authors as well as American ‘new citizens’ who recorded indigenous and autochthonous knowledge in their texts in translated form. The article focuses on the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion of works and writers in and from the library, also in comparison to those underlying well-known European compendia and early modern Spanish bio-bibliographies.
