Abstract

The aim of this work is to find out who were the bookbinders who worked for the Spanish Royal Academy in the second half of the 18th century, identifying the type of bookbinding, materials, construction techniques and state of conservation, number of copies, prices, to whom the works were addressed, the relationship with other bookbinders and printers, thus contributing to knowledge of the history of the Royal Academy itself and also of the history of the Madrid and Spanish bookbinding workshops in the latter part of the 18th century. The research has found documentation of bookbinders as relevant as Gabriel de Sancha, others less known as Ramón Antonio de Herrera, Joaquín Ibarra, the brothers Miguel and Manuel Millana, and some more of which we had practically no news as Manuel Serrano, Santiago Torrado, Rafael Sánchez de Aguilera, Hilario Clarós, Jaime Vidal and Román Matute.
