Author(s) Jacinto Hernández      
Addressee(s) Thomás Fabián Savignoni      
In English

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

The author writes to Thomas Fabián Savignoni, who is in charge of the trading house of Juan Bautista Fabián´s widow, regarding the shipping of books and prayer cards. He states that it was expensive for him and he hopes to yield a profit in a book fair taking place soon.

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.

If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
