1802. Carta de Thomás Fabián Savignoni, responsable de la casa de comercio de la viuda de Juan Bautista Fabián para Jacinto Hernández, comerciante de libros.

Letter from Thomás Fabián Savignoni, who is in charge of the trading house of Juan Bautista Fabián´s widow, to Jacinto Hernández, a book trader.

The author, who is in charge of the trading house of Juan Bautista Fabián´s widow, writes to Jacinto Hernández regarding the purchase and shipping of books and prayer cards, the procedures to be carried out and the costs incurred in this trade exchange.

The trial against Jacinto Hernández occurred between 1798 and 1803 for forbidden books. He was suspected of binding and selling this type of books. The trial was suspended despite the fact that some dubious copies were found. The set of letters is fundamentally about books and prayer cards delivery. Some of the prayer cards were forbidden because they contained either the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was banned, the Holy Spirit in a human form, or the image of a naked grown up Jesus child.
