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

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 Thomás Fabián Savignoni, who is in charge of the trading house of Juan Bautista Fabián´s widow, regarding the shipping of some books and prayer cards. He has given instructions for the books and the prayer cards to be sent to his trading house in order to reduce the costs.

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.
