Ecuadorian Studies / Estudios ecuatorianos No. 2 (Dec.

2002)
FOREWORD
by
Michael T. Hamerly
No. 1 of Ecuadorian Studies / Estudios ecuatorianos appeared in Sept. 2001. It featured three
articles by four ecuatorianistas: (1) Barricades and Ballots: Ecuadors Indians and the Pachakutik
Political Movement by Scott H. Beck and Kenneth J. Mijeski; (2) Entre el bolero y el Internet:
Reflexiones desde la mitad del mundo by Michael Handelsman; and (3) International NGOs and
Sustainable Agricultural Development: A Methodological Analysis with Examples from Highland
Ecuador by James R. Keese.
This, the second number, constitutes the first monographic issue of Ecuadorian Studies / Estudios
ecuatorianos. It consists of a lengthy review of the historical development and contemporary state
of bibliography in and on Ecuador together with an annotated list of 316 bibliographies and
related works by Michael T. Hamerly and Miguel Daz Cueva. It also marks the first
collaboration, hopefully the first of many, in the pages of Ecuadorian Studies / Estudios
ecuatorianos between an ecuatorianista and an Ecuadorian scholar.
Bibliography of Ecuadorian Bibliographies revises, augments, and updates the first edition of
Hamerlys Bibliography of Ecuadorian Bibliographies published by the Seminar on the
Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials in 2001. Whereas the first edition described and
commented upon 252 bibliographies of ecuatoriana, this version features 64 additional
bibliographies and related works. It also offers the most substantial reconstruction of the
development of bibliography in and on Ecuador yet attempted.
This issue inaugurates the book review and notice section of Ecuadorian Studies / Estudios
ecuatorianos. Although the editors are not in a position to solicit or offer review copies, we hope
that our colleagues will submit critical reviews and brief notices of new and recent works in the
field on a continuing basis. If we do not help keep one another abreast of the literature, who will?
Although reviews and notices are not subject to referral, the senior editor of Ecuadorian Studies /
Estudios ecuatorianos will copy edit them. The authors of the reviews and notices are solely
responsible for their content, however, as are also the authors of articles and monographic issues.
Ecuadorian Studies / Estudios ecuatorianos No. 2 (Dec. 2002)
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ECUADORIAN BIBLIOGRAPHIES
by
Michael T. Hamerly and Miguel Daz Cueva
INTRODUCTION
This work lists every bibliography and related study of ecuatoriana in the humanities, the social
sciences, and the natural sciences published through Dec. 2001, including those that were/are
available online, for which the authors were able to obtain or to establish a satisfactory description
as of July 2002 (altogether 316 items).
1
Except in the case of a few exceptionally elusive items,
the descriptions, annotations, and evaluations are based on examination of the actual materials.
Those items that neither author has been able to see, are identified in the text and notes.
Bibliografa de bibliografas ecuatorianas revises, augments, and updates the first edition of this
work, published by Michael T. Hamerly in 2001 (entry 148), which described and discussed 252
items,
2
and the Bibliographies or first section of Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador
(entry 150), the publication cutoff date for which was 1995. Since 1995 at least 30 bibliographies
have appeared, and, not surprisingly, the authors have encountered several additional pre1996
bibliographies. In this regard, it should be noted that when Hamerly compiled Historical
Bibliography of Ecuador, he did not have access to OCLC or RLIN, among other resources.
Understandably, therefore, some materials eluded him as a consequence of which the first section
of Historical Bibliography of Ecuador listed only 200 items.
3
The preliminary essay (Ecuadorian Bibliography: Historical Development and Present State) of
this version of Bibliografa de bibliografas ecuatorianas examines the historical development of
bibliography and related developments in and on Ecuador in considerably more detail than the
English or first edition. Unfortunately, not all that much may be said about the history of printing
or of the book in Ecuador after its separation from Colombia in 1830 because almost everything
remains to be found out about both.
This work is limited to bibliographies per se. Therefore catalogs of manuscripts and guides to
research collections do not appear here within. Historiographic and related studies, including
review articles, are also excluded for the most part. To wit, Gerhard Drekonjas 1978 Ecuador:
ensayo bibliogrfico is excluded because it is primarily an historiographic, not a bibliographic,
essay,
4
but Jorge Nez Snchezs 1994 La historiografa ecuatoriana contempornea (entry
230) is included because it features a substantial bibliographic component. Librarians and scholars
seeking guides to and studies of archives, libraries, museums, and private collections in Ecuador
and repositories located elsewhere in the world that have materials on Ecuador and/or
historiographic and related studies should consult the Research Aids and Historiographic and
Related Studies sections of Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador (entry 150).
Although we have endeavored to be comprehensive, no doubt one or more relevant bibliographies
have eluded us. But we take consolation in what Bernard Lavalle, a fellow historian,
ecuatorianista, and bibliographer has to say in this regard:
Por supuesto, la ambicin de todo trabajo de este tipo es la de ser lo ms completo
posible. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, no dej de acompaarnos el
convencimiento ntimo de que la meta propuesta, la exhaustividad, no era sino
ilusoria y que al final no faltarn algunos trabajos que, desgraciadamente, hayan
escapado de nuestra vigilancia.
5
Works cited in footnotes and listed under Bibliografas y obras relacionadas are described in
their respective language(s) of publication. The citation system is that employed in the humanities
as spelled out in chapter 15, Documentation 1: Notes and Bibliographies, of The Chicago
Manual of Style,
6
and by David William Foster, Daniel Altamiranda, and Carmen de Urioste in
The Writers Reference Guide to Spanish.
7
Among other considerations, this means that
parentheses employed by author or publisher within titles have been retained. Three-em dashes for
repeated names, however, have not been used because it is the authorss firm belief that each
bibliographic entry should stand on its own. This is not a matter of whimsey but of practicality. It
is much easier to consult bibliographies in which entries are independent of one another.
8
Although not required, multiple publishers are given. The number of pages or leaves for books
and contributions in anthologies is also specified.
Dates have been added to personal names whenever ascertainable because such information is not
only important but often difficult to obtain. When an author lives not only determines the
resources and tools available to him/her but also has much to do with the questions he/she asks
and tries to answer. Furthermore, such information is not always easy to come by. Also insofar as
names are concerned, Ecuadorian usage has been respected.
Unless otherwise noted the country of publication is Ecuador. Abbreviations of months are those
specified in the English and Spanish versions of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules.
9
This is a main entry bibliography. This means that the entries are in alphabetical order by author
(including responsible corporate body) when there is only one author, by first author named if
there are two or three authors, and by title if there are more than four authorsto oversimplify
the rules of main entry. Access to secondary authors, multiple authors, compilers, contributors,
and editors, however, is provided through the Added Author Index. The entries are
enumerated. They are not subdivided by subjects because this bibliography is country driven
rather than discipline oriented. Thematic access, however, is available through the Subject
Index. A Chronological Index has been added to this edition. The latter is not an index of the
years which the bibliographies cover but of the years in which the bibliographies themselves were
published. The numbers in the indices refer to the entries, not to the pages on which they appear.
Modified Library of Congress subject headings have been used. Ecuador has not been included in
thematic headings or added to specific place names. By itself Ecuador refers to general works (i.e,
bibliographies that cover multiple aspects of Ecuadorian Studies). The form subheading of
bibliography has been dropped. Chronological subdivisions more in keeping with the nuances of
Ecuadorian history have been adopted. Nor have we hesitated to use natural language when it
seemed to us more appropriate than the stilted terminology sometimes employed by the Library of
Congress.
A few words as to the bricks and mortar that went into the fabrication of this bibliography and as
to the authorss working papers are in order. In the case of Hamerly (1940), this work is the
byproduct of forty plus years of research in archives, bookstores, libraries, museums, and private
collections in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. More than seven of
those years were spent in Ecuador itself. Hamerly holds a Ph.D. in history and a M. of Libr. and
has been a university professor, translator, historical researcher, editor, bibliographer, and rare
book librarian. A contributing editor to the History, Spanish South America, General and
History, Spanish South America, Colonial Period sections of the Handbook of Latin American
Studies since 1970,
10
Hamerly is also the founding editor of Ecuadorian Studies / Estudios
ecuatorianos (2001), an online journal.
11
How well he knows the sources and their contents,
however, is for others to say.
Over the years Hamerly has accumulated a substantial number of personal and professional debts,
far too many to discharge here. To each and every individual and institution that has assisted him
in one way or another, he remains appreciative and grateful.
Three exceptionally important beings, however, must be singled out. Above all others, Carmen
Victoria Flores de Hamerly, a very special person in her own right, who has stood by her man and
her countrysiendo ecuatoriansimathrough it all and who continues to give more than
meaning to their lives. Their son Michael Charles Hamerly Flores, of whom they are more than
justifiably proud. And Dr. Miguel Daz Cueva, who time and time again over the past thirty-four
years has put himself, his unique knowledge of Ecuadorian authors, and his magnificent collection
of ecuatoriana at Hamerlys disposal unconditionally and unhesitatingly. Without his input, this
bibliography would be far less accurate and far less complete. It is right and fitting, therefore, that
his name should appear as coauthor.
Miguel Daz Cuevas collaboration is based on seven decades of collecting imprints of and on his
country and on more than half a century of bibliographic experience. Born in Cuenca in 1919,
Daz Cueva took his doctorate in law from the Universidad de Cuenca in 1949. He was a
functionary of the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, Ncleo del Guayas, between 1946 and 1970,
and the founding director of the Archivo Nacional de Historia, Seccin del Azuay (1964). But
what is most important from our point of view is his development of what is presently the second
greatest private collection of ecuatoriana in the country and a lifelong interest in bibliography.
12
Dr. Daz Cueva began to acquire books in 1932 (at the age of 13), and is the author of several
major historical bibliographies, the most significant of which are those on Vicente Solano (entries
61 and 103) and Honorato Vzquez (entry 104 ).

for which Hamerly begs the readers indulgence.

8. What will probably turn out to be the most comprehensive bibliography of ecuatoriana ever
compiled, the eight vol. to date Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano (entry 46) is difficult to
use because it employs three-em dashes for multiple entries under the same author, rendering it
almost impossible to consult as a dictionary. It also uses the author-date system of citation. To
find a specific entry, therefore, one has to open a volume more or less at random and scan pages,
sometimes many pages, backward or forward, to find the desired author and/or title(s).

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ECUADORIAN BIBLIOGRAPHIES
by
Michael T. Hamerly and Miguel Daz Cueva
ECUADORIAN BIBLIOGRAPHY:
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENT STATE
Heretofore the only attempts to establish some of the benchmarks in the development of
bibliographical coverage of ecuatoriana have been: (1) Alfredo Chavess considerably dated but
still indispensable 1958 Fuentes principales de la bibliografa ecuatoriana (entry 79); (2) Alonso
Altamirano Silva and Carmen Carrillos 1978 Bibliografa y bibliotecologa en el Ecuador (entry
7); and (3) Michael T. Hamerlys 2001 Bibliography of Ecuadorian Bibliographies or the first
edition of this work (entry 148). Fortunately, bibliography is better developed and more robust in
Ecuador than it was when Chaves initially surveyed the scene in the late 1950s, or when
Altamirano and Carrillo partially updated Chaves twenty years later.
Chaves (19021963) was the founder and the first president of the Asociacin Ecuatoriana de
Bibliotecarios (1945). Chaves was the first and until 1965, the only professionally trained
librarian in the country. Altamirano (1936) too was professionally trained and also president of
the Asociacin Ecuatoriana de Bibliotecarios for a time. More importantly, he was the driving
force behind the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Centrals Bibliografa ecuatoriana (entry
30) and its successor Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano y Bibliografa ecuatoriana (entries
1618).
1
Together Bibliografa ecuatoriana and Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano y
Bibliografa ecuatoriana constituted one of the two most important attempts to date to establish
continuous bibliographic control of ecuatoriana. The other was that of the Cuenca branch of the
Banco Centrals Centro de Investigacin y Cultura, beginning with its Ecuador, bibliografa
analtica (entry 108).
Bibliography was slow to develop in Ecuador. Apparently only six bibliographies appeared in the
nineteenth century, and a mere 13 during the first quarter of the twentieth.
2
It was not until the
second quarter of the twentieth century that bibliographies began to appear in appreciable
numbers (66 altogether between 1926 and 1950), and it was not until 1975 that the first, albeit
only temporary, ongoing attempt to register new and recent publications began to be published,
the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Centrals Bibliografa ecuatoriana (entry 30).
Unfortunately, none of the several attempts to date to achieve bibliographic control of national
publications have lasted for more than a few years.
According to Chaves, and Altamirano and Carrillo, the first bibliography realized in the country
was Juan de Velascos Catlogo de algunos escritores antiguos y modernos del Per y Quito
(entry 306), which appeared in 1885, nearly a century after the authors death. Velasco
(17271792), was a riobambeo, a Jesuit, and one of the expulsos of 1767. The Catlogo de
algunos escritores was not a bibliography of ecuatoriana per se, however. Nominally a catalog of
ancient and modern writers of Peru and Quito, in reality it was an annotated list of early accounts
of Spanish America, especially of Spanish South America.
It was also unreliable inasmuch as it suffers from descriptive errors. Velascos second entry, for
example, is the 1535 Seville imprint by Gonzalo Fernndez de Oviedo y Valds which Velasco
refers to as Historia general natural de las Indias, and which Velasco maintained se imprimi
junta con la de Jerez, en un solo cuerpo. Not only was Velasco mistaken as to the title, he was
wrong as to its contents. The Seville imprint was actually entitled Historia general delas [sic]
Indiasa distinct work from Oviedos earlier De la natural hystoria de las Indias (Toledo,
1526)and it appeared on its own. The version that included Francisco de Xerezs Conquista del
Per did not appear until 1547, and it was printed in Salamanca, not in Seville. There was a
Seville 1534 printing of Xerezs Uerdadera relacion de la conquista del Peru y prouincia del
Cuzco llamada la nueua Castilla, however. Velasco also neglected to specify the printers and
extent of the works of the 55 authors he analyzed. In this regard, it should be noted that it had
long since become customary for the bibliographically adept to include printer and collation
statements.
3
As to Velascos bibliography having been the first realizado en el Ecuador, Chaves, and
Altamirano and Carrillo were mistaken. Chaves was unaware of the relationship of Velascos
Catlogo de algunos escritores to his previously, but also posthumously, published Historia del
Reino de Quito en la Amrica Meridional, and Altamirano and Carrillo limited themselves to
repeating their predecesors assertion. Velascos Catlogo de algunos escritores does not appear
in the first nominally complete version of his Historia del Reino de Quito as edited by Agustn
Yerov.
4
(Velascos Historia del Reino de Quito consists of three parts, Historia natural, Historia
antigua, and Historia moderna. The previously published French version corresponds only to the
Historia antigua.
5
) The Catlogo de algunos escritores does appear, however, in the first truly
complete and scholarly acceptable version of the Historia del Reino de Quito, entitled Padre Juan
de Velasco, S.I., as transcribed and edited by Aurelio Espinosa Plit, at the end of book four of
the Historia natural.
6
It also appears in the same place in the only other scholarly acceptable
version of the Historia del Reino de Quito, that of the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana.
7
The
version of the Historia del Reino de Quito available to Chaves, however, was that from which
Yerov had expunged the Catlogo de algunos escritores.
As published in both the Espinosa Plit and the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana versions, the text
of the Catlogo de algunos escritores leaves no doubt that it was never intended to be a
separate monograph, but that it constituted the bibliographic apparatus or what today would be
called references and, therefore, was as an integral part of Velascos Historia del Reino de
Quito. What happened is that in deleting the Catlogo de algunos escritores from what was
supposed to have been the first complete edition of the Jesuit expatriates Historia del Reino de
Quito, Yerovi prepared the ground for the emergence of a bibliographic ghost when the
Catlogo de algunos escritores finally appeared in print as a disembodied separate 44 years
later. (Yerovi also modified Velascos prose in order to render it more intelligible to modern
readers, thus doing scholars a double disservice.) Although nowadays a bibliographic oddity, the
Catlogo de algunos escritores remains historiographically important because it specifies some of
the authorities on whom Velasco relied and what he thought of them.
8
Instead of Velascos Catlogo de algunos escritores, it could be argued that the first Ecuadorian
bibliography was Antonio de Alcedo y Bejaranos 1807 Bibliotheca americana (entry 4), which is
generally reliable and descriptively acceptable for the most part. But there are difficulties with this
contention too. Although born in Quito, Alcedo (17361812) was a Spaniard in every sense that
mattered, and his subject was the Americas at large, not the colony of his birth. Furthermore,
Alcedos opus magnus was not published until many years after his death too, not until
19641965, to be specific. Nonetheless, his Bibliotheca americana constitutes a major source of
bibliographic information on the New World, including the future Ecuador, during the colonial
period.
9
It could also be argued, if one wanted to stretch the definition of bibliography, that the first
bibliographic work published in Ecuador was the 1858 Catlogo de libros pertenecientes a la
testamentara del Sr. Dr. Pio Bravo, que se vendern en remate pblico a mediados de julio.
10
Although not a bibliography per se, the 1858 Catlogo de libros does constitute an important
source for the reconstruction of the history of libraries and private collections in the country.
Apparently, therefore, the earliest bibliography of ecuatoriana was Nicols Anrique Reyess 1891
Noticia de algunas publicaciones ecuatorianas anteriores a 1792 (entry 15). It was probably also
the first register of Ecuadorian imprints of any periodapparently and probably because it is
possible that an earlier bibliography of ecuatoriana might surface some day, for reasons that will
become obvious shortly.
11
Appropriately, Anrique Reyes (d. 1904) was Chilean, a country that
gave us several great bibliographers during the early national period, including not just Jos
Toribio Medina (18521930) but also the Bolivian expatriate Gabriel Ren Moreno (18361908),
the compiler of Biblioteca boliviana (1879) and Biblioteca peruana (1896), the latter of which
continues to be of importance to ecuatorianistas as well as Peruvianists, given the substantial body
of materials relating to the future Ecuador printed in Lima and elsewhere in Peru during the
colonial, independence, and early national periods.
12
Not yet enough is known to give a full account of bibliographic developments in Ecuador. But
enough can be pieced together to establish some of the milestones in the rocky course of
descriptive and enumerative bibliography and related developments in and on the country.
The first press in the then Audiencia of Quito was established by the Jesuits in Ambato in 1755. It
was transferred to San Francisco de Quito in 1759. The first work and the first book, respectively,
to have been printed in the country were: the Catalogus personarum et officorum Provinciae
Quitensis Societatis Jesu (Ambato: Typis ejusdem Societatis, 1754); and the anonymous Pissima
erga del genitricem devotio (Ambato: Typis Soc. Jesu, 1755). Guayaquil, the second most
important city in the country, did not acquire a press of its own until 1821, not, that is to say, until
after it had declared its independence from Spain. Cuenca, which was more populous than the
port city during the colonial period and the more accomplished of the two as a cultural,
ecclesiastical, and educational center, had to wait even longer, until 1828, by which time the
whole of the future Ecuador had been liberated. Ambato, the home of the first press in the
country, would not have a press of its own again until 1835.
The most comprehensive bibliography of early ecuatoriana is Alexandre A. M. Stolss 1956
Historia de la imprenta en el Ecuador de 1755 a 1830 (entry 288). Stolss Historia de la
imprenta has been supplemented by the first (1956) and second (1982) editions of Abel Romeo
Castillos La imprenta de Guayaquil independiente (entries 71 and 72). N.B. Neither Stols nor
Castillo are exhaustive registers of the pre1830 imprints of Ambato, Quito, Guayaquil, and
Cuenca.
13
For other early imprints of Cuenca see Juan Cordero Iiguez and Bernarda Crespo
Corderos 1989 Bibliografa azuaya del siglo XIX (entry 91) and Alfonso Andrade Chiribogas
1950 Hemeroteca azuaya (entry 13). Nonetheless, Stolss and Castillos works are solid histories
of the first presses in Ambato, Quito, Guayaquil, and Cuenca, and model accounts of much of
their output.
Stols (19001973) was a Dutch scholar and a specialist in the early history of the press in Spanish
America. Castillo (19041996) was a guayaquileo and a scion of the family that owned and
edited the port city daily, El Telgrafo. Castillo was also the first Ecuadorian to earn a doctorate
in history.
14
The history of the press in Ecuador after its separation from Bolvars chimeric Gran Colombia
remains to be written for the most part. Although Camilo Destruges Historia de la prensa de
Guayaquil (entries 100 and 101) includes considerable data on printers and publishers, his study is
not a history of printing but of newspapers in the port city. The first and only work to date to
attempt country wide, diachronic coverage of printing events and developments after 1830 is
Carlos Enrique Snchezs 1935 La imprenta en el Ecuador (entry 280). The importance of
Snchezs account cannot be overemphasized. It is rich in insider information, especially on
composition, press work, and binding in Quito during the late nineteenth century and the first
third of the twentieth. Snchez was a linotypist, one of the first in the country, and an employee of
the Imprenta Nacional. Snchezs La imprenta en el Ecuador is somewhat sketchy when it comes
to the rest of the country, however, and it has yet to be supplemented, let alone supplanted.
15
The bibliographic roster of 18311900 ecuatoriana is incomplete.
16
Cordero Iiguez and Crespo
Corderos Bibliografa azuaya (entry 91) is the only attempt to register the publishing output of
books and articles of any of the publishing centers for the entire, or, rather almost the entire
nineteenth century, inasmuch as the Corderos ended coverage with 1899, instead of 1900. Their
work appears to be virtually complete. The bibliographic landscape of the nineteenth century,
however, is not as bleak as the penultimate remark implies. Destruges Historia de la prensa de
Guayaquil provides solid coverage of nineteenth- and early-twentieth century newspapers and
periodicals of the port city. Leonardo J. Muoz (18981987) affords some coverage of
broadsides and other fliers published between 1790 and 1920 (see entry 223), and Germn Solano
de la Sala Veintemillas Indice de folletos lists some of the pamphlet literature of the 1800s
relating to economic and social developments and events (entry 287), specifically for 1824
onward. In this regard, it should be noted that the latter includes a chronological index.
Carlos Manuel Larreas classic Bibliografa cientfica del Ecuador (entries 180182) and the
Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano (entry 46), both of which are discussed below, list many
separates of the nineteenth century too. Furthermore, as will also be seen below, almost all, if not
all, of the newspapers of the nineteenth century have been registered. Nonetheless, a country
wide, chronologically complete bibliography of separates and/or serials of the 1800s has yet to be
attempted. Moreover, the only attempt to establish registers of contemporary national
publications during the nineteenth century appears to have been Csar Villavicencios 18931895
Anuario de la prensa ecuatoriana for 18921894 (entry 308).
17
Insofar as diachronic coverage of imprints is concerned, the twentieth century has fared somewhat
better. Almost all of the publications of the 1900s have been registered in one bibliography of
another. Nonetheless, it was not until 1938 that the next attempt to register coeval national
publications on a more or less comprehensive basis appears to have been made. In 1938 the Inter-
American Book Exchange in cooperation with the National Library of Ecuador produced A
General Bibliography of Ecuadorian Publications for 19361937, and the following year A
General Bibliography of Ecuadorian Publications for 1938.
18
There was also an unrelated
attempt to report new and recent books in the 1930s, by Antonio Montullos through his column
Mirador bibliogrfico in the Grupo de Amricas Amrica: revista mensual ilustrada, which he
maintained for seven years (19341940). Montullo, however, limited himself to annotating works
he considered to be of importance.
19
Nearly two decades expired before the next register of national publications was forthcoming,
Bibliografa ecuatoriana in the 1959 Revista de la Biblioteca Municipal de Quito.
Unfortunately, the Revista de la Biblioteca Municipal de Quito was virtually stillborn; it died with
its inaugural issue (entry 29). Eight more years elapsed before yet another attempt to achieve
national bibliographic control was made, the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatorianas 1967 Boletn
bibliogrfico ecuatoriano (entry 54). It survived slightly longer than its predecessor, appearing in
a total of two issues. But in the mid 1970s, the situation improved dramatically.
Beginning in 1975, the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central del Ecuador registered new
and recent national publications (including articles and contributions to anthologies), more or less
comprehensively, for a five year period (19751979), initially through its Bibliografa
ecuatoriana = Ecuadorian bibliography = Bibliographie delEquateur [sic] = Ecuadorianisch
Bibliographie (entry 30) and subsequently through its Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano y
Bibliografa ecuatoriana (entries 1618). The first issue of Bibliografa ecuatoriana was that of
ao 1, no. 1 (ene./feb. 1975). Nominally a bimonthly, Bibliografa ecuatoriana continued to
appear as a separate through ao 1, no. 5 (sept./oct. 1975). No. 6 appeared as an integral part of
the first issue of the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central del Ecuadors bibliographic
annual, entitled Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano 1975 y Bibliografa ecuatoriana no. 6 (entry
16). No. 7 (1976) marked the last appearance of Bibliografa ecuatoriana, now nominally a
semiannual, as a separate. Nos. 89 appeared as integral parts of the second bibliographic annual,
Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano 19761977 y Bibliografa ecuatoriana nos. 89 (entry 17).
Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano 19761977 also cumulated no. 7 of Bibliografa ecuatoriana.
No. 10 of Bibliografa ecuatoriana appeared as an integral part of the third bibliographic annual
of the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central del Ecuador, Anuario bibliogrfico
ecuatoriano 19781979 y Bibliografa ecuatoriana no. 10 (entry 18). There were no further
issues of either.
N.B. Bibliografa ecuatoriana and Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano y Bibliografa ecuatoriana
list only those new and recent publications acquired by the Biblioteca General de la Universidad
Central del Ecuador. They owned their existence to the dynamic director of the Library, Alfonso
Altamirano, a professionally trained librarian. It is not known which came first, the cessation of
publication of Bibliografa ecuatoriana and its successor Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano y
Bibliografa ecuatoriana or Altamiranos resignation from his position and departure from the
country. What is known is that the Universidad Central had its budget drastically slashed in the
late 1970s. Whether Altamirano might have been able to have revived Bibliografa ecuatoriana
and/or the Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano y Bibliografa ecuatoriana had he remained at the
helm of the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central del Ecuador is moot.
Fortunately, the Cuenca branch of the Banco Central del Ecuadors Centro de Investigacin y
Cultura picked up the slack. See its Ecuador, bibliografa analtica (entry 108), which appeared
every four months and covered the years 19791982. The Cuenca Centro de Investigacin y
Cultura followed its Ecuador, bibliografa analtica with its own Anuario bibliogrfico
ecuatoriano, beginning in 1984 for 1982 and continuing through 1991 for 1987 (entry 19). The
Cuenca Centro de Investigacin y Cultura also issued a remarkable Bibliografa retrospectiva
ecuatoriana e ndice acumulativo for 19781985 (entry 33). Bibliografa retrospectiva
ecuatoriana even addressed the issue of name authority control, not just for persons but also for
entities. The bibliographic efforts of the Cuenca Centro de Investigacin y Cultura were
discontinued in the early 1990s because of the adverse economic circumstances of that decade and
concurrent changes in the political culture of the Banco Central.
The national bibliographic scene was not entirely bleak following the demise of the Quito and
Cuenca Anuarios bibliogrficos ecuatorianos. Even before the cessation of the Cuenca Centro de
Investigacin y Culturas Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano, the bookseller Edgar Freire Rubio,
a remarkable autodidact, had begun to provide current coverage through his monthly list of new
and recent publications in various dailies of the capital city. Until recently Freire Rubio was the
manager of the Librera Cima in Quito, one of the most important outlets for the acquisition of
national publications in the country. He is now the manager of the Librera Espaola.
Freire Rubio periodically reissued his lists and related writings in compilations. His El libro
nacional (entry 133) and Desde el mostrador del librero (entry 132)three volumes of the latter
of which had appeared as of July 2002provide month-by-month listings of national books and
periodicals for Jan. 1986 through Dec. 1995. Unfortunately, Freires monthly newspaper column
and periodic compilations consisted simply of announcements of new and recent publications in
the humanities, social sciences, and sciences; that is to say, they lack collation statements and
more importantly content specific indicators. Nonetheless, his monthly lists and periodic
compilations were preferable to the alternative that now prevails, a quasi bibliographic void.
20
Freire Rubio continues to compile periodic lists of new and recent publications, but,
unfortunately, none of the capitaline newspapers permit him to publish them any longer, preferring
to give the space over to more important matters and advertisements. Similarly he has
accumulated enough material to publish two or three additional volumes of Desde el mostrador
del librero, but has been unable to find a publisher and cannot himself afford the printing, binding,
and distribution costs.
21
Essential to the compilation of current and retrospective bibliographies is the formation of
libraries and collections.
22
During the colonial period almost the only libraries were those of the
religious orders. Especially important were those of the Dominicans and the Jesuits. The
Dominican Universidad de Santo Tomas became the Universidad de Quito in 1826, and its library,
at least in part, what is now the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central del Ecuador.
23
Some
of the Jesuitss holdings, however, became part of what is now the Biblioteca Nacional del
Ecuador Eugenio Espejo, in 1792, and yet others also part of the eventual Biblioteca General de
la Universidad Central. The surviving colonial period holdings of the Biblioteca Nacional del
Ecuador Eugenio Espejo are described in entry 50, and those of the Biblioteca General de la
Universidad Central in entries 64, 111, and 112.
24
Notwithstanding the neglect of the Biblioteca Nacional by the majority of national
administrations, it probably had substantial holdings of nineteenth-century materials at one time or
another, but judging by its 1977 catalog of national authors (entry 49), few have survived. Its
twentieth-century holdings, however, are more or less substantial albeit somewhat spotty.
Regarding the neglect of the National Library, a 1986 statement by Plutarco Naranjo (1921), a
medical doctor and one of the bibliographers listed below, is apropos: Ni Quito ni toda la nacin
ecuatoriana cuenta con una sola biblioteca digna de la poca. Ninguna dispone de un presupuesto
apropiado para la adquisicin de nuevos libros. Ninguna cuenta con partidas suficientes para
mantener una buena hemeroteca. Del siglo XVIII hasta finales del siglo XX hemos recorrido un
trgico camino de descenso.
25
The Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central has never made the totality of its holdings
known. The Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central, nonetheless, played a significant role on
the national bibliographic scene in the second half of the 1970s, as already noted.
26
Two of the
Universidad Centrals other libraries, however, the Biblioteca de la Facultad de Derecho and the
Biblioteca del Instituto de Investigaciones Econmicas, did produce printed catalogs of their
holdings, in 1957 and 1955, respectively (see entries 40 and 44).
The earliest printed library catalog as well as the only catalog of a pre-twentieth-century library to
have been published was that of the Biblioteca Pblica del Azuay, each volume of which was
individually entitled: I, Ciencias eclesisticas (Cuenca: Impr. la Universidad, 1890); II,
Jurisprudencia (1890); III, Ciencias polticas y econmicas (1890); IV, Historia (1890); V,
Literatura (1891); VI, Ciencias (1891); VII, Medicina (1891); VIII, Artes y oficios (1891); IX,
Apndice (1892). For additional information see entry 51.
27
The Biblioteca Pblica del Azuay,
sometimes referred to as Biblioteca Pblica de Cuenca, was also the library of the Universidad del
Azuay.
The most recent printed library catalog is the hopefully only temporarily discontinued Diccionario
bibliogrfico ecuatoriano of the Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit (entry 46). It is
also the most important retrospective bibliography ever likely to be published in and on Ecuador
inasmuch as the Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit houses the most extensive
collection of ecuatoriana anywhere in the world. The first eight vols. of the Diccionario
bibliogrfico ecuatoriano feature 48,156 entries, remarkably few of which are redundant. The
Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit also began to publish a periodical in 1998,
Primicias: revista de la Fundacin Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit, which in
part, at least, is supposed to be or to have been devoted to bibliography.
28
Several nineteenth-century scholars undoubtedly amassed sizeable working collections of their
own. Obvious candidates are the archbishop-historian Federico Gonzlez Surez, and the
multifaceted Pablo Herrera, Juan Len Mera, and Pedro Moncayo. Although Gonzlez Surez
(18441917) is better known as a historian than a bibliographer, he was responsible for the
second study of early ecuatoriana, the 1892 Bibliografa ecuatoriana: la imprenta en el Ecuador
durante el tiempo de la colonia (entry 139). Herrera (18201896), Mera (18321894), and
Moncayo (18071888) were pioneering historians and critics of national letters.
29
From the point of view of bibliographic developments, however, the twentieth-century collectors
Carlos A. Rolando (18811969), Carlos Manuel Larrea (18871983), Aurelio Espinosa Plit
(18941961), Nicols Espinosa Cordero (b. 1902), Miguel Angel Jaramillo (18741953), and
Miguel Daz Cueva (1919) are much more important. The guayaquileo Rolando developed the
Biblioteca de Autores Nacionales Carlos A. Rolando, which he donated to the Municipality of
Guayaquil in 1933. The Rolando collection has been housed in the Biblioteca Municipal de
Guayaquil ever since and its integrity respected. Rolando published two catalogs of his collection,
both of which are major registers of ecuatoriana: the 1913 Catlogo de la bibliografa nacional:
(Biblioteca de Autores Nacionales de Carlos A. Rolando) (entry 259), and the 1947 Catlogo
decimal de la Biblioteca de Autores Nacionales (entry 260).
Rolandos prize winning 11,000 item Bibliografa ecuatoriana, compiled in the 1920s would
have been the first comprehensive retrospective bibliography of ecuatoriana, but it was never
published. Instead that distinction fell to Carlos Manuel Larreas 19481953 Bibliografa
cientfica del Ecuador (entry 180). Bibliografa cientfica del Ecuador was based on Larreas
own extensive holdings and many years of research abroad. A quiteo, Larrea published a second,
at the time more extensive, edition of his bibliography in 1952 in Spain (entry 181) even before
the first had appeared in its entirety in Ecuador, and began to publish a third, considerably
enlarged edition in 1968 (entry 182). Upon its completion, however, the first edition of the
Bibliografa cientfica became more extensive than the second inasmuch as vol. 5 of the first
edition added 1,077 entries, bringing the total to 9,800, whereas the second edition registered 500
fewer (9,300 items). Also the updated first edition advanced coverage through 1950, whereas the
second stopped with 1949 publications.
At the same time, the three editions of Larreas Bibliografa cientfica constitute quasi-catalogs
of an exceptionally important collection of ecuatoriana. Posthumously acquired by the Banco
Central del Ecuador, Larreas collection is now housed in the Banco Centrals Centro de
Investigacin y Cultura in Quito. Rolando and Larrea also published a number of specialized
bibliographies (see entries 254258, 261269, and 179, 183189, respectively).
Aurelio Espinosa Plit was responsible for the establishment of the magnificent collection of
ecuatoriana that now bears his name. In part it was based on holdings of his Jesuit predecessors.
30
As a scholar, however, Espinosa Plit was much more of a classicist and an editor than a
bibliographer. See, nonetheless, his bibliography of his maternal uncle Monseigneur Manuel Mara
Plit Laso (entry 118).
The authors have yet to ascertain the postmortem disposition of the Nicols Espinosa Cordero
collection. It is known, however, that Espinosa Cordero sold the majority of his holdings in life.
31
His heirs probably disposed of the rest. Espinosa Corderos personal collection may have been
remarkable. Some idea of its holdings may be had through the 29 page Catlogo de las obras
antiguas, raras y curiosas que se hallan en la Biblioteca de Nicols Espinosa Cordero (entry
114).
32
Espinosa Cordero has the distinction of having produced the first bibliography of works on the
history of his country, the 1934 Bibliografa ecuatoriana: noticias de las obras literarias y
cientficas que forman el caudal bibliogrfico de la Real Audiencia de Quito, hoy Repblica del
Ecuador, con breves datos biogrficos de sus autores, 15341809 (entry 113). This work
remains indispensable to students of the colonial period inasmuch as Espinosa Cordero is the only
scholar as of the early 2000s, to have attempted to describe and analyze imprints of the colonial
period relating to the future Ecuador regardless of where they were published. Of course, he did
not succeed as fully or as well as would have been optimum, but his yet to be surpassed
Bibliografa ecuatoriana was a well done and substantial piece of work by any standard.
33
Miguel Angel Jaramillos collection of national publications was acquired in life by the Casa de la
Cultura Ecuatoriana, Ncleo del Azuay, where it has been maintained to this day. Jaramillo
prepared four catalogs thereof, of which only two were published: the 1932 Indice bibliogrfico
de la Biblioteca Jaramillo de Escritos Nacionales (entry 175); and the posthumous 1953
Indice bibliogrfico de las revistas de la Biblioteca Jaramillo de Escritos Nacionales (entry
176). Parenthetically, given the relative isolation of Cuenca during the first half of the twentieth
century and the virtual none existence of bibliographic control and standards in the country, it is
all the more remarkable and very much to their credit that Espinosa Cordero and Jaramillo
managed to develop such substantial holdings and to produce such major, timeless, well done
bibliographies.
Miguel Daz Cuevas private collection is exceptionally important because he has been making
every effort to collect national publications, including government documents and serials,
systematically as well as comprehensively. His serial holdings as well as his monographs, including
many from the late colonial, independence, and early national periods, are extraordinarily
extensive. He has not been collecting as systematically of late, however, because of health
problems and heavy medical expenses. As of July 2002, Daz Cueva (1919) estimated that he
held between 20 and 25,000 volumes and nearly as many titles. Hopefully one of the options for
the future maintenance of his collection that he has been exploring will be realized.
Although Daz Cueva has turned to biographical studies in recent years,
34
initially he made his
mark as a bibliographer. His 1955 Bibliografa de Honorato Vzquez (entry 104) and 1965
Bibliografa de fray Vicente Solano (entry 103) are models of historical bibliography.
35
No matter how well developed bibliographic control of books and articles may be, control of
serials usually lags behind and tends to be less than complete, regardless of country. As of July
2002, the only bibliographies and related studies of Ecuadorian serials, except for newspapers,
were: (1) Csar Villavicencios 18931895 Anuario de la prensa ecuatoriana for 18921894
(entry 308); (2) Miguel Angel Jaramillos posthumously published 1953 Indice bibliogrfico de
las revistas de la Biblioteca Jaramillo (entry 176); (3) Rosa Quintero Mesas 1973 Ecuador,
vol. 8 of her Latin American Serial Documents (entry 217); and (4) Edwing Guerrero Blums
2001 Sociedades ecuatorianas de escritores y artistas (entry 143).
36
Although Villavicencios Anuario registers some monographs, it is mostly given over to
periodicals and newspapers. Jaramillos bibliography of periodicals is an exemplary piece of
work; it is an issue by issue account. Mesas Ecuador is an invaluable guide to government
sponsored as well as official serials of the nineteenth and the first three fourths of the twentieth
centuries. It cannot be overemphasized that Mesa registered many virtually unknown and barely
known periodicals. Guerrero Blums history of literary and artistic societies in the country is rich
in bibliographic information. In the case of most of the corporate entities in question, Sociedades
ecuatorianas de escritores y artistas includes a complete account of their revistas and other
publications, data that are otherwise difficult to obtain.
The roster of newspapers is virtually complete for the late-eighteenth, the nineteenth, and the
early-twentieth centuries, beginning with the first newspaper published in the country, the 1792
Primicias de la cultura de Quito. For the country at large see Alejandro Ojeda V.s dated, not
altogether reliable, but exceptionally replete 1941 chronological checklist Estadstica de la prensa
nacional ... (entry 231), and Rolandos bibliographically much more reliable and acceptable, but
regrettably never completed 19471955 Crnica del periodismo ... (entries 263 and 264).
Rolando advanced only as far as 1869. For the newspapers of Guayaquil, see Castillos several
studies, especially entries 7275, and Destruges superb 19241925 Historia de la prensa de
Guayaquil (entries 100 and 101). Also of considerable importance, especially for nineteenth and
early-twentieth-century newspapers are: (1) Andrade Chiribogas previously mentioned 1950
Hemeroteca azuaya (entry 13); (2) Luis F. Maderas 1927 Peridicos ibarreos (entry 206); and
(3) Mximo A. Rodrguezs 1948 El periodismo lojano (entry 253). N.B. Andrade Chiribogas
Hemeroteca azuaya covers only the nineteenth century. Andrade Chiriboga (18811954) had
planned to add a volume on twentieth-century newspapers of his native Cuenca, but died before
he could complete the project.
The history of newspapers is more or less well known too. Guayaquileos have been especially
active in this regard, almost from the beginning of bibliographic and scientific historical studies
in the country. In addition to Destruge, Rolando, and Castillo, see Juan B. Cerriolas pioneering
1909 Compendio de la historia del periodismo en el Ecuador,
37
and Jos Antonio Gmez
Iturraldes 1998 Los peridicos guayaquileos en la historia, 18211997.
38
Insofar as Ecuadorian studies per se are concerned, there are no current bibliographies. The only
true retrospective bibliographies are the first and second editions of Larreas Bibliografa
cientfica (entries 180 and 181) and Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador (entry 150).
The traditional disciplines of history and literature, law and medicine, on the other hand, have
been well served. Several major bibliographies exist for history. The earliest bibliography of works
on the history of Ecuador, albeit only of the colonial period, was Espinosa Corderos classic 1934
Bibliografa ecuatoriana (entry 113). The 19481953 and 1952 editions of Larreas Bibliografa
cientfica (entries 180 and 181) are, of course, especially comprehensive when it comes to
historical materials. Until recently, the most complete bibliography of materials on the history of
Ecuador, was Robert E. Norriss 1978 Gua bibliogrfica para el estudio de la historia
ecuatoriana (entry 229).
Norris claimed to have superseded Larrea, but the descriptively incomplete entries in Larreas
Bibliografa cientfica tend to be more reliable than Norriss descriptively more acceptable
entries. The substantial bibliographic component (pp. 57132) of Jorge Nez Snchezs 1994 La
historiografa ecuatoriana contempornea (19701994) (entry 230) supplements and to an
appreciable extent updates Larrea and Norris. Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador
provides the most recent and comprehensive coverage.
Larrea and Espinosa Cordero were autodidacts. As bibliographers it could not have been
otherwise inasmuch as neither descriptive nor enumerative bibliography were taught in Ecuador
and are still not being taught. Nez Snchez (1947) is a professionally trained historian as are
also Norris (1939) and Hamerly (1940). Nez Snchez holds a doctorate in geography and
history from the Universidad de Huelva in Spain.
Three very solid general bibliographies of belles-lettres, each increasingly more complete and up-
to-date than its predecessor(s), have appeared over the course of the past 68 years. But Carlos
A. Rolandos 1944 bibliography (entry 255), and Thomas L. Welch and Ren L. Gutirrezs 1989
bibliography (entry 313) tend to complement rather than supersede Guillermo Riveras pioneering
1934 bibliography (entry 250) and one another. Several solid specialized bibliographies such as
Michael H. Handelsmans 1981 El modernismo en las revistas literarias (entry 152), Francisco
Delgado Santoss 1984 historical survey and bibliography of childrens literature (entry 99), and
Hubert Pppels 1999 bibliography and anthology of avant-garde authors (entry 243) also exist.
The legal literature of the country has been ably served by Juan Larrea Holgun who has
periodically reissued his Bibliografa jurdica del Ecuador, beginning in 1969, each edition of
which has been more comprehensive than the previous (entries 190193). Larrea Holgun (1927)
is the son of the late Carlos Manuel Larrea, professionally trained in civil and canon law, and the
current archbishop of Guayaquil. Furthermore, Larrea Holgun has given us the most
comprehensive index to date of Ecuadorian legislation.
39
Also significant are Miguel Daz Cuevas
magisterial 1979 survey of corporate law materials (entry 105) and Graciela Egas de Venegass
1999 bibliography of Supreme Court decisions and studies (entry 109).
The history of medicine has been well cultivated in Ecuador. It is not surprising therefore that the
bibliography of medicine is correspondingly substantial. There are five major bibliographies, all of
which were compiled by well qualified individuals, the first of which was Carlos A. Rolandos
pioneering 1953 Bibliografa mdica ecuatoriana (entry 258), and the second Mauro Madero
Moreira and Francisco Parra Gils indispensable 1971 Indice de la bibliografa mdica
ecuatoriana (entry 207). Although the other three bibliographies are more recent, they
supplement but do not wholly update Madero Moreira and Parra Gils vade mecum: (3) Rodrigo
Fierro Bentez, Jaime Breilh, and Eduardo Estrellas 1995 Catlogo del libro ecuatoriano de
medicina (entry 126); (4) Rodrigo Fierro Bentez, Magdalena de Carrera, and Jorge Revelo
Roseros 1995 Bibliografa cientfica mdica ecuatoriana publicada en el exterior (entry 128);
and (5) Rolando Costa, Eduardo Estrella, and Fernando Cabiesess 1998 Bibliografa andina de
medicinal tradicional (entry 93).
40
Also important is Estrellas brief but exceptionally informative
1988 Principales fuentes de la bibliografa mdica ecuatoriana (entry 119).
41
Rolando was a pharmacist turned bibliophile and bibliographer, whereas Madero Moreira (d.
1973) and Parra Gil were physicians who cultivated the history of medicine in their spare time and
retirement. As scholars, however, they were anything but amateurs.
42
Estrella (19411996), also a
physician, abandoned medicine for history in an exceptionally promising but truncated career as a
man of letters.
43
Fierro Bentez (1930) is the founding director of the Centro Nacional de
Documentos Cientficos Ecuatorianos (1972).
The Centro Nacional de Documentos Cientficos Ecuatorianos, housed in the new building of the
Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana Benjamn Carrin in Quito, is one of the most important
repositories of scientific publications in the country. In addition to the Bibliografa cientfica
mdica ecuatoriana publicada en el exterior, Fierro Bentez together with Jorge Revelo Rosero
and Flor Mara Hidalgo produced the 1997 Bibliografa cientfica ecuatoriana sobre las Islas
Galpagos (entry 127). Hopefully the series in which both appeared, Coleccin Bibliografa
cientfica ecuatorianaas nos. 1 and 2, respectivelywill flourish.
The social sciences have also been well served bibliographically, especially the older disciplines of
anthropology and archaeology, beginning with Marshall Howard Savilles 1907 Bibliography of
the Anthropology of Ecuador in his The Antiquities of Manabi, Ecuador (entry 283) and
continuing with Paul Rivets 1922 Index bibliographique de lethnographie ancienne de
lEquateur (entry 251). The first separately conceived, written, and published bibliography of
Ecuadorian antiquities, however, was Max Uhles 1926 Bibliografa sobre etnologa y
arqueologa del Ecuador (entry 229), which he began to update almost immediately (entry 290),
and which he reissued in a substantially enlarged edition three years later (entry 291). It should
also be noted that Savilles, Rivets, and Uhles bibliographies focused primarily on the
prehispanic period inasmuch as hardly any ethnographic research had yet been conducted in the
country.
All three men knew the literature well, especially Uhle. Saville (1867-1935), a North American
archaeologist, pioneered the systematic and scientific study of the prehistory of the central
coast.
44
The Frenchman Rivet (18761958), an anthropologist as well as an archaeologist, was the
first professional to undertake ethnographic research in Ecuador.
45
Uhle (18561944), a German
scholar, was himself a major contributor to archaeological studies of the country where he spent
thirteen years (19191933) and engaged in considerable field work on the coast and in the
highlands.
46
As of July 2002, the most comprehensive bibliography of anthropological and archaeological
materials continued to be the third edition of Carlos Manuel Larreas Bibliografa cientfica
(entry 182), to which the late Danish archaeologist and ecuatorianista Olaf Holm added periodic
updates (see entries 158163).
47
Other supplements to Larrea include: (1) Marc Beckers 1997
essay Indians in the Ecuadorian highlands (entry 26); (2) Karus Watiunk (i.e., Juan Carlos
Zanutto) and Juan Bottassos 1978 Bibliografa general de la nacin jvaro (entry 310); and (3)
Jim and Linda Belotes ongoing web site on the Saraguros (entry 27). In this regard it should be
noted that the Shuar, Achuar, and Saraguros appear to be the only ethnic groups for which
specific bibliographies exist. Also important is Gertraud Itzstein and Heiko Prumerss 1981
Einfhrende Bibliographie zur Archologie Ecuador = Bibliografa bsica sobre la arqueologa
del Ecuador (entry 179). For folklore studies see the Brazilian scholar Paulo de Carvalho-Netos
contributions (entries 6567).
Economics, geography, government and politics, and international relations, also appear to be
more or less well covered. The most comprehensive and/or recent bibliographies on economic
and social conditions are: (1) the 1977 edition of Luca Alzamoras Ecuador, aspectos socio-
econmicos: bibliografa (entry 11); (2) Germn Solano de la Sala Veintemillas 1991 Indice de
folletos sobre temas econmicos y sociales (entry 287); (3) the two volume 1973 Bibliografa
social, econmica y poltica del Ecuador (entry 35); and (4) in its own way Bernard Lavalles
1995 Bibliografa francesa sobre el Ecuador (19681993) (entry 195).
Lavalles bibliography is doubly important, given the substantial contributions of French scholars
to Ecuadorian studies in recent decades. In this regard, see also Pierre Gondards Repertorio
bibliogrfico de los trabajos realizados con la participacin de ORSTOM: Ecuador 19621986
(entry 138), and the more recent Contribucin al conocimiento de una zona de encuentro entre
los Andes ecuatorianos y peruanos, compiled by Anne Marie Hocquenghem and Zaida Lanning,
with the collaboration of Pierre Gondard (entry 156).
In addition to the general bibliographies of economic and social conditions, there are several
relatively recent bibliographies of studies of artisans (entries 90 and 241), small and medium
enterprises (entry 94), agriculture (entries 107 ,146, 166, and 245), industries (entry 129), the
informal sector or underground economy (entry 220), and rural life and agrarian reform (entry
226).
48
A major guide to theses in economics done at national universities was also forthcoming
(entry 167).
At least six bibliographies and discussions of geographic and geologic studies in and of Ecuador
exist, in addition to the relevant sections in the first and second editions of Larreas Bibliografa
cientfica and Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador. The earliest was Luis Telmo Paz y
Mios 1927 Bibliografa geogrfica ecuatoriana (entry 237), and the most recent (again as of
July 2002) is the 1990 Gua bibliogrfica de geografa fsica del Ecuador (entry 145), the
compilers of which interpreted their charge liberally. The others are entries 14, 56, 84, 276, and
315. Several specialized bibliographies also exist. Especially important are: (1) Robert Gerardus
Maria Hofstedes 1998 Geografa, ecologa y forestacin de la sierra alta ... (entry 157); (2) the
two vol. 19931994 Areas protegidas del Ecuador (entry 21); (3) the 1994 Biodiversidad y
areas protegidas (entry 52); and (4) Sergio Lasso and Cristina Borjas 1990 Bibliografa bsica
sobre los principales problemas ambientales del Ecuador (entry 194). There does not appear to
be a separate bibliography of travel accounts of the country, but this genre has been well covered
by Larrea in Bibliografa cientfica, Norris in Gua bibliogrfica, and Hamerly in Historical
Bibliography of Ecuador.
As for politics and government, there is now a bibliography of violence in Ecuador (see entry 1).
One of the best bibliographies of the literature on political developments of the 1930s through the
1990s is the Oxford trained historian Enrique Ayala Moras essay (entry 22). Also useful in this
regard, especially for materials in English, is David Corkills 1989 Ecuador (entry 92). For
materials on political parties see James B. Johnson and Kenneth Jandas 1968 bibliography (entry
177) and Flavia Freidenberg and Manuel Alcntara Sezs more recent online Gua bibliogrfica
(entry 130).
Although a separately published bibliography on the international relations of Ecuador does not
appear to exist, there are several solid bibliographies of the Ecuador-Peru boundary dispute,
allsomewhat embarrassingly from the Ecuadorian point of viewauthored by Peruvians. By far
the best of these is Juan Miguel Bkulas monumental 1992 Per y Ecuador (entry 23).
As a discipline sociology does not appear to have made much headway in Ecuador. Not
surprisingly, therefore, there are no general bibliographies of sociological studies. Two
bibliographies of population materials exist, however, one of contemporary demographic studies
by the French scholar Daniel Delaunay (entry 98), and the other of historical demographic and
related materials by Hamerly (entry 149). There are also two bibliographies of womens
studieslate in developing in Ecuadorthe first by two national scholars, Roco Rosero Jcome
and Jackeline Contreras (entry 273), and the second of which is Gioconda Herreras online
Bibliografa sobre estudios de la mujer y el gnero en el Ecuador (entry 155). For rural studies
see especially entries 205 and 294. Urban studies have also finally come into their own, resulting
in the production of several significant guides to various aspects of this important field (see
especially entries 220, 252, 274, and 275). There was even a periodical devoted to the
bibliography of urban studies, Ciudad de papel (entry 81). Unfortunately, however, it seems to
have succumbed within a few years of its birth (1994).
Government publications of Ecuador are inadequately known. The last general guide to separately
published documents appeared more than half a century ago, John de Noias 1947 Ecuador (entry
227). Rosa Quintero Mesa, however, provided us with a somewhat more recent (1973) list of
serial documents (entry 217). Nonetheless, her work too is now considerably dated as is also the
Junta Nacional de Planificacin y Coordinacin Econmicas 1974 Inventario de estadsticas
demogrficas y socioeconmicas (entry 168). The Instituto Nacional de Estadstica y Censos,
however, maintains a web site at http://www.inec.gov.ec/ that features a catalog of its currently

Returning to the humanities, bibliographic coverage of art has been less than optimum. Thus far
there appears to have been only one general bibliography, Alfredo Chavess considerably dated
1942 Primer registro bibliogrfico de arts plsticas (entry 80). There is a more recent
bibliography of folk or popular art, however, Juan Cordero Iiguezs 1980 Bibliografa
ecuatoriana de artesanas y arts populares (entry 90). Architecture has been slighted,
notwithstanding the late twentieth-century spate of important publications on the historic as well
as contemporary architecture of the country. Vol. 2 of Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of
Ecuador, however, includes a section on art and architecture, albeit only through 1995 imprints.
The Summer Institute of Linguistics has published two editions of its Bibliografa del Instituto
Lingstico de Verano en el Ecuador (entries 212 and 213), but there does not appear to be a
comprehensive bibliography of Ecuadorian language and linguistic materials. Certainly, there is
nothing current. Manuel T. Orejuelas Communication relative la Bibliographie de la
linguistique quatorienne ... (entry 234) dates from 1934, and the third edition of Carlos Manuel
Larreas Bibliografa cientfica (entry 182) provides coverage of linguistic materials only
through the mid 1960s. Fortunately, vol. 2 of Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador also
covers language and linguistic studies.
No separate bibliography of Ecuadorian music appears to exist, at least not of this writing, and
only one of the theater (entry 203)two if one counts the preliminary sample thereof (entry 202).
Again some coverage of studies of Ecuadorian music is to be found in vol. 2 of Hamerlys
Historical Bibliography of Ecuador. Discographies are lacking for the most part. But, at least,
one now exists for pasillos.
51
Filmography appears to be in better shape, a comprehensive catalog
of moving pictures produced through 1996 having appeared (entry 77). Philosophy and the
history of ideas have also gone begging for Larreas, but see entries 3, 76, and once again, vol. 2
of Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador (especially for history of ideas materials).
Regional bibliography is as uneven in coverage as regional development, but in reverse. There are
three substantial guides to published materials on the Galpagos: (1) Carlos Manuel Larreas
pioneering 1960 El Archipilago de Coln (Galpagos) (entry 179); (2) the exceptionally
comprehensive 1996 Bibliografa de Galpagos, 15351995 = Galpagos Bibliography
compiled by Heidi M. Snell and others (entry 32), which lists 7,498 items;
52
and (3) the solid but
not quite as comprehensive albeit better indexed Rodrigo Fierro Bentez, Jorge Revelo Rosero,
and Flor Mara Hidalgos 1997 Bibliografa cientfica ecuatoriana sobre las Islas Galpagos
(entry 127). Interestingly enough but not surprisingly, the 1996 and 1997 bibliographies on the
Galpagos were not only produced independently of one another but apparently without any
knowledge by either team of compilers that a parallel work was in progress. Among other reasons
this is because a clearing house of ideas, information, new and recent publications, and research in
progress does not yet exist for Ecuadorian studies. (Hopefully the yet in the previous statement
is not unduly optimistic.)
There are several major bibliographies of articles, books, and theses on the Oriente or the six
eastern provinces of the country,
53
the most comprehensive of which appears to be Marco
Restrepos 1992 Amazonia ecuatoriana (entry 248). But bibliographies of the other major, much
more developed and heavily populated regions (the north coast, the central-south coast, the north-
central highlands, and the southern highlands) and their component provinces are lacking except
for Azuay and Loja. There is, however, a bibliography of studies of economic conditions in the
Province of Manab (entry 242).
Also incredible as it may seem, there are hardly any city- or town-specific bibliographies. Again
Cuenca, the capital of Azuay, constitutes the primary exception. Although appreciably fewer in
numbers than guayaquileos or quiteos, cuencanos have produced a very substantial body of
literature and scholarship. For Cuenca and Azuay see especially entries 13, 91, 116, 125, 174, and
224, and for the city as well as the province of Loja, Emmanuel Faurouxs impressive 1983 Las
fuentes impresas para el estudio histrico, poltico, econmico y social de la Provincia de Loja
(entry 124), and the 1999 Contribucin al conocimiento de una zona de encuentro entre los
Andes ecuatorianos y peruanos (entry 156).
The paucity of regional and local bibliographies might not seem to be a major problem, but
publications from the smaller cities and towns do not always reach the major cities and therefore
go unnoticed for all practical purposes. Consequently, it is not always possible to obtain
information on regional and local titles. Julio Estupin Tello, a well known Afro-Ecuadorian
author, for example, is supposed to have published a Historia de Esmeraldas in 1958, and new
editions in 1977 and 1983, but the authors have been unable to find a full description or to obtain
a copy of any of the three. The first edition was apparently printed in Esmeraldas (the town), the
second in Portoviejo, and the third in Santo Domingo de los Colorados.
At the same time it should be noted that not all of the publications of Guayaquil and Cuenca reach
North America or Europe. Therefore it is just as difficult for ecuatorianistas to maintain
themselves abreast of new and recent articles, books, and contributions to anthologies as it is for
Ecuadorians.
There is no need, however, to be concerned about the relative lack of bibliographies of individual
authors. The hopefully only temporarily discontinued Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano of
the Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit, had been providing author-by-author
coverage (entry 46). Furthermore, Wilson C. Vega y Vega, heretofore the principal compiler of
the Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano, has been issuing a number of separate bibliographies
of the works of lesser known as well as prominent intellectuals (see entries 295305).
Nonetheless, separate bibliographies of articles, books, published sources, and theses on persons
of Ecuador are noticeably lacking. Except for bibliographies of materials on a handful of great
men such as Eloy Alfaro (entry 257) or Gabriel Garca Moreno (entry 184) and of some scholars
(especially as compiled by Vega y Vega), they simply do not exist for the most part.
54
But
Norriss Gua bibliogrfica (entry 229) as well as Hamerlys Historical Bibliography of Ecuador
compensate to some extent for the gaps in coverage of biographical materials.
Yet to be verified and described in full are: Edison Calvaches Bibliografa mdica nacional,
55
and Alexandra Kennedy Troyas Bibliografa sugerida para el estudio del arte colonial en
Ecuador;
56
and several periodicals: (1) the Boletn de la Biblioteca Municipal de Guayaquil, the
first issue of which appeared in March 1910; (2) the Biblioteca General of the Banco Central del
Ecuadors Boletn bibliogrfico;
57
(3) the Fundacin Naturas Boletn bibliogrfico; (4) the
Instituto Andino de Arts Populares del Convenio Andrs Bellos Diablo huma; (5) the Instituto
Ecuatoriano de Folklores Boletn bibliogrfico; and (6) the Universidad de Cuencas (or del
Azuays) post World War II Boletn bibliogrfico.
58
Diablo huma (1 [1992]) is supposed to be,
or, to have been, a semiannual covering new and recent works in the fields of folklore, popular
culture, and social life and customs.
The authors may be doing fellow ecuatorianistas a disservice by offering such a comprehensive
bibliography as it is no easy matter to lay hands on some of the bibliographies listed below. On the
problems of book and journal production in the country and the difficulty of procuring copies
thereof see: (1) David Blocks Current Trends in Andean Scholarly Publishing: Ecuador, Peru,
and Bolivia;
59
(3) Francisco Delgado Santoss El libro en el Ecuador;
60
(3) Carl W. Deals
Academic Publishing in Ecuador;
61
(4) Carlos Caldern Chicos El libro ecuatoriano en el
umbral de un nuevo siglo;
62
and (5) Freire Rubios Desde el mostrador del librero (entry 132).
Many of the bibliographies discussed above and described below are dated, considerably dated in
some instances. In this regard, it should be noted that almost half were published before 1976
(148 or 46.7 percent of the 316 listed below). The retrospective bibliographies are incomplete.
Comprehensive bibliographies are lacking for some disciplines and fields of study. Yet
publications in and on Ecuador continue to proliferate. The demise of the Cuenca branch of the
Centro de Investigacin y Culturas Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano is all the more lamentable,
therefore. Given the volatility of politics, including cultural, in the country and the ongoing
economic crisis, it is unlikely that the Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano will be revived or a true
successor appear, at least not in the foreseeable future. Bibliographic control of ecuatoriana,
therefore, continues to be badly needed, more so now than ever.
Nonetheless, the gains of the second half of the twentieth century, especially of the last quarter
century, are impressive. Indicative of this is the sheer number of bibliographies that appeared
between 1976 and 2000, at least 165 or 52.4 per cent of the total listed below. Bibliographies
published during the last quarter century also tended to be descriptively more complete and
appreciably better indexed than their predecessors. Hopefully the quantitative and qualitative gains
of the current quarter century will be even more impressive than those of the last.
1. All that we have been able to ascertain anything about Altamiranos coauthor Carrillo is that
she too was a professionally trained librarian.
2. These statistics do not reflect the additional materials cited in the text and notes.
3. On the emergence and development of bibliographic canons during the early modern period,
see Luigi Balsamos magisterial survey, La bibliografia: storia di una tradizione (Florence:

that En 1837 sali en Pars una versin castellana que incluye tan solo una parte de la Historia

a description of the edition in question: Juan de Velasco, Histora de las literaturas del Ecuador

was also the version mutilated by Yerovi.
NOTES
7. 3 vols. Quito, 19771979. See vol. 1, pp. 426439. This version was prepared from microfilm
copies of the ms. originals held by the Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit in
Cotocollao and the Real Academia de la Historia in Madrid by Juan Freile Granizo (1941) and
others. Velascos Historia del Reino de Quito en la Amrica Meridional, as edited by Alfredo
Pareja Diezcanseco, Biblioteca Ayacucho, 82 (Caracas: Editorial Arte, 1981) excludes the
Historia natural and therefore also the Catlogo de algunos escritores, and in many respects, is
almost as flawed as Yerovis version.
8. A satisfactory biography and critical assessment of Velasco has yet to be written, but see
Carlos Manuel Larrea, Tres historiadores: Velasco, Gonzlez Surez, Jijn y Caamao, prlogo
de Jorge Salvador Lara (Quito: Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana Benjamn Carrin, 1988); and
vol. 1 of Arturo Andrs Roig, El humanismo ecuatoriano de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, 2
vols., Biblioteca bsica del pensamiento ecuatoriano, 1819 (Quito: Banco Central del Ecuador;
Corporacin Editora Nacional, 1984).
9. The bibliographic labors of Antonio de Alcedo have been inadequately studied and wrongfully
denigrated. Henry Harrisse (18291910), for example, dismissed Alcedos work, then available
only in ms., as a bulky compilation [that] seems to be based entirely upon Pinelo-Barcia [i.e.,
Antonio de Len Pinelos Epitome de la biblioteca Oriental i Occidental, nautica y geografica
(Madrid: Iuan Gonzalez, 1629), and under the same title Andrs Gonzlez de Barcia Carbadillo y
Zigas 3 vol. rev. and aug. version (Madrid: Oficina de Francisco Martinez Abad, 17371738)],
with the addition of a few biographical notes, which are of interest only when referring to modern
American authors: Bibliotheca americana vetustissima: a description of works relating to
America published between the years 1492 and 1551 (New York: Gep P. Philes Publisher,
MDCCCLXVI [1866]), xxiv. Somewhat surprisingly, this egregious as well as erroneous
assertion is repeated by Jos Toribio Medina in his Biblioteca hispanoamericana, 14931810, 7
vols. (Santiago de Chile: Impreso y grabado en casa del autor, 18981907), 6:cxvi.
10. Cuenca, 19 de mayo de 1858: Impreso por Joaqun Maya; 26 p.
11. Two candidates for which may be: Bookworm, Bibliografa ecuatoriana, Diez de agosto,
1:9 (25 mayo 1881): 264272; and Revista bibliogrfica, Revista literaria de El Progreso
(Cuenca), 1:3 (mar. 1885): 3338. These citations were taken from the Diccionario bibliogrfico
ecuatoriano (item 46). They remain to be verified and their nature and contents ascertained.
12. Biblioteca boliviana (1869), 2 ed. facsim., 2 vols. (La Paz: Fundacin Humberto Vzquez-

Abecias Adiciones a la Biblioteca boliviana de Gabriel Ren-Moreno (Santiago de Chile, 1899),
and an added subject index; Biblioteca peruana: apuntes para un catlogo de impresos (1896), 2
vols. (Naarden: Anton W. Van Bekhoven, Publisher, 1970). See also Jos Toribio Medina, La
imprenta en Lima, 15841824, 4 vols. (Santiago de Chile: Impreso y grabado en casa del autor,

peruanos, 6 vols., Biblioteca peruana, 712 (Lima: R. Vargas Ugarte, 19531957).
Unfortunately, Medina and Vargas Ugartes vade mecum lack subject indexes. Also Vargas
Ugartes Impresos peruanos does not entirely supplant Medinas La imprenta en Lima inasmuch
as the former did not incorporate all of the latters entries. Therefore researchers need to work
their way systematically through both. One final caveat is in order. Although Vargas Ugarte
nearly doubled the known output for the colonial period presses of Lima and Juli, an assiduous
search of North American and European repositories will turn up several hundred items unknown
to Moreno, Medina, and Vargas Ugarte.
13. In addition to Stolss account see Francisco Miranda Ribadeneira, La primera imprenta

15. Some additional information, however, appears in Francisco Delgado Santoss El libro en el
Ecuador: situacin y perspectivas (Bogot: Centro Regional para el Fomento del Libro en
Amrica Latina y el Caribe, 1987), 12-14.
16. Insofar as the history of printing per se is concerned, it could be argued that 1906, at the
earliest, would be a better cutoff date for the registration of nineteenth-century imprints inasmuch
as it was not until that year that mechanized typography was introduced, initially in Guayaquil. At
the earliest, because the rest of the country lagged behind the port city. Linotypes did not begin
tobe used in the capital until 1914, for example. Cylinder presses, on the other hand, were
introduced as early as the first half of the 1870s. Although Snchez does not tell us what kind of
cylinder presses or how they were operated, undoubtedly they were worked by hand.
17. Vctor Len Vivar Correas 1892 Hombres y cosas del Ecuador: noticia de algunas
publicaciones ecuatorianas (entry 310) erroneously reported as apparently the first attempt to
register national publications in Hamerlys Bibliography of Ecuadorian Bibliographies (entry

the physician, pensador, and precursor Eugenio Espejo.

25. Quoted in Rodrigo Fierro Bentez, Magdalena de Carrera, and Jorge Revelo Rosero.
Bibliografa cientfica mdica ecuatoriana publicada en el exterior (entry 128), ix. In this
regard, it should also be noted that publishers are not required by law to deposit copies of
imprints with the National Library. There is a ministerial decree to that effect (no. 10,284 of the
Ministerio de Educacin y Cultura), but it has neither been observed nor enforced.
26. The catalogs of the majority of university libraries in Ecuador are now on the Web. Some
have restricted access, including those of the Universidad Central. Although important as
indicators of the holdings of said libraries, their utility as bibliographies (at least the online
catalogs that the author has been able to access), is virtually nonexistent. Hopefully, some day,
however, they will serve as bases for the creation of a national online union list. For a discussion
of movement in this direction, see entry 83.
27. Chaves erroneously reported vol. III as never having been published and was unaware of the

Histrico, 17:51 (abr./jun. 1971): 165, originally published: Santiago de Chile: Impr. y Librera
del Mercurio de Santos Tornero, 1861. Although not of any great bibliographic importance, these
four works contain considerable information on authors of the colonial, independence, and early
national periods. Two other pioneering, nowadays all but forgotten, but still important works in
this regard are the guayaquileo Vicente Emilio Molestinas Lira ecuatoriana: coleccin de
poesas lricas nacionales, escojidas i ordenadas con apuntamientos biogrficos (Guayaquil:
Impr. y Encuad. de Calvo i C, 1866; ix, 340 pp.) and his Literature ecuatoriana: coleccin de
antigedades literarias, fbulas, epigramas, stiras y cuadros descriptivos de costumbres
nacionales, escogidas y ordenadas con apuntamientos biogrficos (Lima: Tip. y Encuad. de A.
Alfaro y C, 1868; 163 pp.). Molestina was much shorter lived than his highland colleagues; his
dates are 18461875.

31. The year of Espinosa Corderos birth is sometimes given as 1901 instead of 1902; the latter,
however, appears to be correct. The authors have not yet been able to ascertain what year he
died.
32. Daz Cueva doubts that Espinosa Cordero personally held copies of the majority of early and
rare books that he described in his several bibliographies.
33. Espinosa Cordero himself considered his Bibliografa ecuatoriana to have been no more than
a preliminary effort. Unfortunately, adverse circumstances precluded his publishing the more
definitive work he had in mind and apparently had begun to prepare.

Unfortunately, it consists of a simple list of works in alphabetical order by authors, and is not
indexed by countries or subjects.
41. According to Estrella, Principales fuentes (p. 16), the Banco de Informacin Cientfico-
Mdica de la Facultad de Ciencias Mdicas de la Universidad Central del Ecuador published three
vols. of Bibliografa mdica nacional between 1979 and 1983, consisting of 134, 160, 85 pp.,
respectively, but the authors have not yet been able to verify their particulars. They have,
however, seen No. 4 (1989; 283 pp.). It and apparently also nos. 13 are indexed by authors,
titles, and subjects. Nos. 14 register a total of 8,389 items. Also useful is Estrellas section 4 (pp.
1820) in which he lists bibliographies of theses in medicine done at the universities of Quito,
Guayaquil, Cuenca, and Loja, and sections 5.1 (pp. 2122) of Estudios bibliogrficos [mdicos]

43. Estrella was particularly interested in the history of natural science, which had been little
cultivated in his country. He rescued from quasi oblivion and edited with extensive introductions
the exceptionally important Juan Jos Tafalla, Flora Huayaquilensis: sive descriptiones et icones
plantarum huayaquilensium secundum systema linnaeanum digestae, 2 v. in 1 case (cvi, 283, ccv
pp.) (Matritii [i.e., Madrid]: Instituto ad Conservandam Naturam (ICONA, M.A.P.A.); Horto

Trabajos zoolgicos, geolgicos, qumicos y fsicos en Guayaquil (Barcelona: Lunwerg Editores,
1996; 237 p.). Pineda Ramrez was a member of the Alejandro Malaspina Expedition. The tome in
question constitutes vol. 8 of the Expedicin Malaspina series.

49. It seems that INEC expects foreign governments and libraries to make up its budget deficit,
judging by its outrageous prices. The three vols. of the Serie Descentralizacin, for example,
sell for $480 inside of Ecuador, but for $810 elsewhere in Latin America, and for $1,200 in the
rest of the world. No wonder libraries in North America and Europe bought only the first vol.,

problems of online searching, knowing under which subject headings to look. The Snell
bibliography shows up under Galapagos Islands Bibliography sans country qualifier and
therefore does not appear under any search qualified by the term Ecuador regardless of how
employed.
53. From North to South, the eastern provinces are: Sucumbios, Orellana, Napo, Pastana,
Morona-Santiago, and Zamora-Chinchipe.
54. To which should be added Santos A. Himiobs Sucre, poca & pica, 17951995:
bibliografa del general en jefe y gran mariscal de Ayacucho Antonio Jos de Sucre: homenaje

of 1,680 entries. Indexed chronologically and thematically.

56. Apparently published in Caspicara, 5 (1995).
57. The only issues the authors have seen are: Ao XVII, nmero 53, consisting of 480 pages,
and corresponding to Libros ingresados durante el perodo de enero a dic. de 1974; and Ao
XVIII, nmero 55, consisting of 75 pages, and corresponding to Libros ingresados durante el
perodo de julio a diciembre de 1975. The materials acquired during said periods are described
minimally and listed in accordance with the Universal Decimal System.
58. The latter of which is supposed to have included in its title in one way or another Juan
Bautista Vzquez. In this regard, it should be noted that pre-AACR2 serial records in OCLC
tend to be bibliographically worthless. AACR2 serial records are not much better, not so much
because libraries tend to catalog from copy in hand, usually incomplete, which is understandable
enough, but because far too few cataloguers make an effort to obtain more complete information,
admittedly not always easy, more often than not because their institutions do not provide them
with the time or the resources, which is again understandable but, nonetheless, deplorable.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ECUADORIAN BIBLIOGRAPHIES
by
Michael T. Hamerly and Miguel Daz Cueva
BIBLIOGRAPHIES AND RELATED WORKS
1. Acercamiento bibliogrfico al fenmeno de la violencia en Ecuador. In Violencia en la
regin andina: el caso de Ecuador, edited by Julio Echeverra and Amparo Menndez-
Carrin. 1 ed. Serie Estudios. Ciencias polticas (Quito: Facultad Latinoamericana de
Ciencias Sociales, Sede Ecuador, 1994), 261273.
As the political and economic climates of the country deteriorated during the late twentieth
century, acts of violence, including the use of force by the state, became more commonplace. A
timely guide, therefore, to some of the coeval literature on this major political and social
phenomenon.

2. Acosta Sols, Misael (19101994). Bibliografa cientfica del Dr. M. Acosta Sols de
1928 a 1972. Quito: Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, 1972. [34] pp.
Apparently the most complete of the several autobibliographies of the prolific Acosta Sols, one
of the most important twentieth-century botanists and natural historians of the country, if not the
most important. He was certainly the most prolific.
2
Among his several important works, the three
in five vol. Los recursos naturales del Ecuador y su conservacin (Mxico, D.F.: Instituto
Panamericano de Geografa e Historia, 19651969) deserves special mention because the fifth
vol. is given over to Bibliografa sobre la naturaleza ecuatoriana.

The first complete publication of this basic reference work, previously virtually unknown.
Transcribed from the 1807 holographic revision in the New York Public Library.

Extracted from the 1791 ms. in the Bibliothque Nationale in Paris and therefore from an earlier,
substantially less complete version of the Bibliotheca americana (entry 4). In this regard,
however, it should be noted that the 1807 revision is also incomplete: it too contains elipses for
eventual inclusion of additional data.

Partially updates and adds to Chavess Fuentes principales de la bibliografa ecuatoriana (entry
79). Includes some citations, especially of older works, not previously known to the authors.

At
the same time, however, it should be noted that some of the citations are erroneous and that not
all of them correspond to bibliographies. Also of interest is Altamirano and Carrillos sketch of
the history of libraries and library science in the country (pp. 2731), both of which topics remain
in need of elaboration and elucidation.

during the nineteenth century. Specifies banner, format, number of pages and of columns, when
the newspaper began to be published and if known, when it ceased publication, the number of
issues, the printers, the editors, the collaborators or contributors, and highlights their coverage.
Based on complete collections in the majority of instances. Andrade Chiriboga also summarizes
and comments on the contents of the 132 newspapers covered.
14. Andrade Marn, Luciano (18931972). La bibliografa geogrfica ecuatoriana y los
gegrafos ecuatorianos. Anales de la Universidad Central 23:328 (1949): 1938.

15. Anrique Reyes, Nicols (d. 1904). Noticia de algunas publicaciones ecuatorianas
anteriores a 1792. Santiago de Chile: Imprenta Nacional, 1891. 23 pp.
Insofar as can yet be determined, the first bibliography of ecuatoriana per se as well as the first
bibliography of early Ecuadorian imprints. It registered four Ambato and fifteen Quito titles.
Includes facsimiles of title pages. Also published in Revista ecuatoriana 4:3:39 (mar. 1892):
112122.
16. Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano 1975 y Bibliografa ecuatoriana no. 6. Quito:
Universidad Central del Ecuador, Biblioteca General, 1976. 374 pp.

issues of Bibliografa ecuatoriana, a bimonthly that began with ao 1, no. 1 (ene./feb. 1975), and
at the same time corresponded to no. 6 thereof (see entry 30). Registered 1,324 articles, books,
and contributions to anthologies published during the first half of the 1970s. Indexed. See also the
comment under entry 18.
17. Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano 19761977 y Bibliografa ecuatoriana nos 89.
Quito: Universidad Central del Ecuador, Biblioteca General, 1978. 427 pp.
Constituted vol. 2 of Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano, and corresponded to nos. 89 of
Bibliografa ecuatoriana. It also cumulated no. 7 of Bibliografa ecuatoriana (entry 30), now
nominally a semestral, but in reality an irregular. Added 808 books, articles, and contributions
to anthologies to the register. Indexed. The only issue to include a book review section. See also
the comment under entry 18.
18. Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano 19781979 y Bibliografa ecuatoriana no. 10. Quito:
Universidad Central del Ecuador, Biblioteca General, 1981. 143 pp.
Constituted vol. 3 of Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano, corresponded to no. 10 of Bibliografa
ecuatoriana (entry 30), and was the last issue of either published. Described 316 books, articles,
and contributions to anthologies bringing the total number of publications registered by the
Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano and Bibliografa ecuatoriana to 2,448. Indexed.
Items 1618 were annual/biennials and therefore constitute a serial. All three volumes are
organized in accordance with the universal decimal system of classification and include author,
title, subject, and relevant corporate body indexes. This annual/biennial, together with its
predecessor Bibliografa ecuatoriana (originally a bimonthly) constituted a notable attempt to
establish control over national publications. Copies of all the materials described were to be
found in the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central del Ecuador, the director of which was
Alonso Altamirano Silva (1936), a professionally trained librarian. Not related to items 19, 33,
and 108.

Ecuador, Centro de Investigacin y Cultura, 19841991.
Not to be confused with items 1618. The Anuario for 1983 appeared in two vols. Indispensable
for materials published in the 1980s. Each vol. includes an author index. The vol. for 1982
registered 2,278 items; for 1983, 7,206 items; for 1984, 2,216 items; 985, 2,687 items; for 1986,
3,581 items; and for 1987, 3,481 items, excluding periodical issues, which were listed separately
and note enumerated. Continues Ecuador, bibliografa analtica (entry 108). See also

23. Bkula, Juan Miguel. Per y Ecuador: tiempos y testimonios de una vecindad. 1 ed. 3
vols. Lima: CEPEI : FOMCIENCIAS, 1992.
Vol. 1 (410 pp.) is entirely given over to bibliography. References to numerous other, related
Peruvian and Ecuadorian publications are to be found in the copious notes to vols. 2 and 3, to
which access is had via the Indice onomstico at the end of vol. 3. Vols. 23 also constitute a
balanced, comprehensive, more or less objective, and scholarly treatment of the boundary dispute
between Ecuador and Peru, the history of the Upper Amazon Basin, and relations in general
between the two countries.
24. Barrera B., Jaime (19101977). Bibliografa para el estudio de la prehistoria

25. Bayle, Constantino (b. 1882). Notas sobre bibliografa jesutica de Mainas. Missionalia
hispnica 6:17 (1949): 277317.
More a historiographic than a bibliographic essay on Jesuit accounts of their missions in the
Upper Amazon Basin during the colonial period. Includes manuscript as well as published
materials. Somewhat chatty and definitedly biased. Yet insofar as the Ecuadorian Oriente is
concerned, the only specific guide to and discussion of Jesuit mission literature. These reports are
also studies of and sources on the ethnography, geography, and history of the Oriente.
Reprinted as the Introduccin to vol. 2 of Bayles edition of Manuel J. Uriarte, Diario de un

1975); ao 1, no. 3 (mayo/jun. 1975); ao 1, no. 4 (jul./ago. 1975); ao 1, no. 5 (sept./oct. 1975);
and 7 (1976).
12
Nos. 6, 89, and 10 were subsumed in the Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano for
1975 (entry 16), 19761977 (entry 17), and 19781979 (entry 18), respectively, as already noted.
No. 1 registered 301 items; no. 2, 266 items; no. 3, 213 items; no. 4, 216 items; no. 5, 211 items;
no. 7, 302 items. Each issue is indexed by authors, relevant corporate bodies, titles, and subjects.
31. Bibliografa ecuatoriana en educacin, Centro de Investigacin, Planificacin y
Tecnologa Educativas. Vol. 1, no. 1 (jul. 1982). Quito, 1982.
At head of title: REDUC, Ecuador. The Ecuadorian equivalent of Current index to journals in
education. Related to item 249. Supposed to be a semiannual.
32. Bibliografa de Galpagos, 15351995 = Galpagos Bibliography, Heidi M. Snell ... [et
al.]. Quito: Fundacin Charles Darwin para las Islas Galpagos, 1996. xi, 321 pp.
The other compilers of this exceptionally comprehensive bibliography more than merit mention.
They were Howard L. Snell, Gayle Davis-Merlen, Tom Simkin, and the late Robert E. Silberglied.
This bibliography was compiled over a 25 year period, having been begun by Simkin at the
Smithsonian Institution in 1971. It lists 7,498 works by author and is indexed in Spanish and
English by keywords. Those entries asterisked were and hopefully still are to be found in the
Library of the Charles Darwin Research Station/Estacin Cientfica Charles Darwin in Puerto
Ayora, Santa Cruz I.
33. Bibliografa retrospectiva ecuatoriana e ndice acumulativo 19781985. Cuenca: Banco
Central del Ecuador, Centro de Investigacin y Cultura, 1991. 400 pp.
Nominally compiled by Emma Prieto Ochoa, but in reality, a collaborative effort. Supplemented
Ecuador, bibliografa analtica (entry 108) and Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano (entry 19) for
the years 19781985. Includes a cumulative personal and corporate body author index.
Unfortunately, the highly commendable efforts of the Cuenca branch of the Banco Centrals
Centro de Investigacin y Cultura to compile and publish comprehensive current and
retrospective bibliographies of works published in and on the country were derailed by the
adverse political climate and economic crisis of the 1990s.
34. Bibliografa sobre administracin ecuatoriana y materias afines. Versin preliminar.
Quito: Instituto de Estudios Administrativos, Universidad Central del Ecuador, 1967. 95
pp.
A bibliography of materials on public administration of/in Ecuador and related topics. Apparently
never issued in a versin definitiva.
35. Bibliografa social, econmica y poltica del Ecuador. 2 vols. Quito: Junta Nacional de
Planificacin y Coordinacin Econmica, Seccin de Investigaciones Sociales, [1973].
Compiled by Gonzalo Abad with the assistance of Alfredo Breilh, Nicanor Jcome, Patricio
Moncayo, Gretha Muoz, Alicia Naranjo, Fabin Sandoval, and Angel Serrano. A major
bibliography of social scientific materials, including historical studies. It must be used with care,
however, as authorss names are frequently misspelled. Annotated, but not indexed.
36. Bibliographie sur lEquateur = Bibliography on Ecuador. Paris: Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development, Development Centre, 1985. iii, 85 pp.
Compiled for the Seminario sobre Desarrollo Econmico held in Quito in Aug., 1965, with the
cooperation and support of the Union Franaise des Organismes de Documentation and the
Universitt Kiel. Consists mostly of materials published in Europe on Ecuador and the countrys
economic development. See also entries 137 and 194.

Finance Center, Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, Ohio State
University, 1967. 6 leaves.
A bare bones listing of agricultural credit and related materials available at the Arnold Agricultural
Credit Library of the Agricultural Finance Center at Ohio State University. Presumably the

this list was compiled.

13
A list of works of national authors in one of the most important collections of ecuatoriana. N.B.
The Rolando Library holds materials not found in other collections of ecuatoriana, a consideration
that applies to the Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit, the Jaramillo collection in the
Biblioteca de la Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, Ncleo del Azuay, and the Larrea collection in
Quitos Centro de la Investigacin y Cultura as well.
39. Biblioteca de la Comisin Legislativa (Ecuador). Catlogo de la Biblioteca de la
Comisin Legislativa. Quito: Talleres Grficos Nacionales, 1954. 113 pp.
A partial guide to the library holdings of one of the oldest and most important research
repositories in the country, the Archivo-Biblioteca de la Funcin Legislativa, which dates from
1886. The Biblioteca de la Comisin Legislativa was a separate entity between 1945, when the
Comisin Legislativa Nacional was established, and 1975, when its library was incorporated into
the Departamento de Biblioteca of the Archivo-Biblioteca de la Funcin Legislativa.

At head of title: Direccin de Estudios del Azuay. An alphabetical list by authors and titles.
Organized by subjects.
46. Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit. Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano.
<8> vols. Quito: Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit, 1989<1999>.
Tomos 12 and 4: Dirigido por Julin G. Bravo Santilln, S.J. con la colaboracin de Wilson C.
Vega Vega y Vctor H. Vaca Bravo; t. 3: ... con la colaboracin de Wilson C. Vega Vega y
Martha Llumiquinga Nieto; t. 5: Direccin: Julin G. Bravo Santilln, S.J. Preparacin Wilson
C. Vega y Vega. Regardless of how the credits read, Vega y Vega has been doing almost all of
the actual work. Although not listed in the credits, Carlos A. Cartagenova also collaborated in the
production of this bibliography, at least of vol. 1.
An exceptionally comprehensive bibliography of national authors as well as a catalog of the
largest collection of ecuatoriana in the world. It includes newspaper articles, pamphlets, and other
ephemera. Indexed by author, subject, and year of publication. Tomo 1, AAn, consists of 6,347
entries; t. 2, AnBa, of 8,387 entries; t. 3, BaCam, of 8,339 entries; t. 4, CanCoh, of 8,215
entries; t. 5, ColCor, of 6,333 entries; t. 6, CosCH of 5,962 entries; t. 7, DEC of 5,772
entries; t. 8, EchEsp of 4,593 entries.
Not an easy tool to use; entries are entered by year of publication under author rather than
alphabetically by title under author. Authorss names are given only once, at the beginning of the
list of his/her publications. Thereafter three-em dashes are employed. This problem was alleviated
but not wholly resolved by adding last names as running headings, beginning with t. 2, and author
indexes, beginning with t. 4. Presumably the decision to use the author-date system of citation
was made because the compilers of the Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano are endeavoring to
produce a quasi-historical bibliography, at least for authors. (Unfortunately, they do not discuss
the issue of format, an oversight for which they should not be unduly faulted as altogether too
many bibliographies suffer from this shortcoming, regardless of nationality or discipline of
compiler or purpose of compilation.) To their credit, the compilers of the Diccionario
bibliogrfico ecuatoriano have been including collation statements.
In addition to the problem of employing three-em dashes for repeated names, this quasi-historical
bibliography also enters works by more than one author under each author without indicating
primary responsibility. Therefore, the Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano ignores the question
of main entry. It should also be noted that because it is a library catalog as well as a bibliography,
the Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano includes some works that have nothing to do with
Ecuador.
Unfortunately and most regrettably, the publication of this invaluable work was suspended upon
the recent dismissal of Father Bravo, the director of the Biblioteca Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinos
Plit for many years, and Vega y Vega. Hopefully, the Diccionario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano
will be continued and eventually completed.

Organized according to the
Universal Decimal System and therefore by subjects. Almost all of the works described there
within, not always accurately, are twentieth-century imprints. Unfortunately, virtually all of the
former nineteenth-century holdings of the Biblioteca Nacional appear to have been filched. Some
materials of the colonial period, however, have survived (see entry 50).

Inasmuch as this bulletin indexes materials in the applied sciences and technology, it could be
argued that it falls outside the scope of this bibliography. However, it includes some Ecuadorian
materials of interest to social scientists.

died with the second issue.

provinces as appropriate. The reason for the plus sign is because Bristow includes multiples
entries under the same number in some instances and because he added three pages of
unnumbered and unindexed late entries. Of interest to natural historians and physical
geographers as well as geologists and mineralogists.

chronological order (18161990). Indicates repository in which seen as do also items 62 and 63.
Includes onomastic and subject indexes. Better done than item 62. At the same time it
complements item 62 inasmuch as Solano was a leading, if not the most important, conservative
ideologue of the nineteenth century just as Peralta was one of the leading, if not the most
important, liberal ideologues of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. See also entry

third of the twentieth inasmuch as he was born in 1855 and lived until 1937. Item 62 also registers
materials on liberalism and the Liberal period (18951925). Crdenas Reyes is a Chilean historian.

A register of coeval editions of Olmedos Canto a Bolvar. Although as a politician Olmedo
(17801847) vehemently opposed the Liberators annexation of the Free Province of Guayaquil,

A solid study of and excellent guide to early imprints in Guayaquil. There are, however, additional
1821 and 1822 imprints of the port city in local, regional, and national archives, libraries,
museums, and private collections of the country not registered in Castillo. In this regard it should
be noted that the author did almost all of his research abroad.

Contents of vol. 1: Tema no. 1. Sistemas de informacin geogrfica y afines; Tema no. 2. Datos

This is a work for which the content indicators and therefore the corresponding subject
headings that have been assigned by catalogers are misleading. Although the proceedings in
question examine and discuss computerized social scientific and bibliographic data bases
established or under consideration at the time by various research institutions and several
universities in the country, they do not contain any bibliographical references whatsoever.
Primarily of interest, therefore, to automation or systems librarians and information scientists.

This main entry bibliography is an attempt to list all reports and maps that concern the geology
and geography of Ecuador, regardless of their antiquity, quality, or obscurity. Most of the
compilation was done before or during 1963. Elizabeth Hambleton and the librarians of the
Geological Survey deserve much credit for the compilation . . . Most of the publications referred
to were examined by the author, but because many obscure publications could not be obtained,

advanced research. Describes 557 items in the humanities and the social sciences. Each entry is
annotated. Emphasizes English language and therefore by default general Latin American, South
American, and Andean materials rather than Ecuadorian materials per se. Indexed by authors,
titles, and subjects. Indicative of the limited holdings on Ecuador in Great Britain.

Cover title: Don Luis Cordero, 18331933. Organized chronologically. Luis Cordero
(18331912), the maternal grandfather of the author, was president of Ecuador (18921895), a
poet, a pioneering student of Quichua, and the editor of the first daily newspaper in Cuenca, the
Crnica diaria (1873).
116. Espinosa Cordero, Nicols (b. 1902). Estudios literarios y bibliogrficos. Cuenca: Impr.
del Colegio Nacional Benigno Malo, 1934. 265 pp.
Contents: the previously published Don Luis Cordero: ensayo bibliogrfico, que se publica con
motivo del primer centenario de su nacimiento (pp. [1]32) (entry 115); Juan Montalvo:
semblanza lrica (pp. [33]56); Inventario bibliogrfico de la ciencia azuaya (pp. [57]91); and
the separately published Bibliografa ecuatoriana: noticia de las obras literarios y cientficas que
forman el caudal bibliogrfico de la Real Audiencia de Quito, hoy Repblica del Ecuador, con
breves datos biogrficos de sus autores. (15341809) (pp. [93]256) (entry 113).
The essay on Montalvo is not of any bibliographic interest. The Inventario bibliogrfico de la
ciencia azuaya is broader in coverage than the title implies; it was to have been complemented by
Inventario bibliogrfico de la literatura e historia azuayas. Unfortunately, the latter was never
published. It is also regrettable that Espinosa Cordero listed works only by title and year of
publication in this bibliographic essay. Espinosa Corderos Bibliografa ecuatoriana, on the
other hand, includes place of publication, format, and extent of the work. Again unfortunately, the
more extensive work that Espinosa Cordero had in preparation on the bibliography of the colonial
period, in which even the title pages of the works described were to have been reproduced, never
appeared either. Nonetheless, his Bibliografa ecuatoriana remains exceptionally useful and
fortunately was printed on paper of appreciably better quality than his compatriot Miguel Angel
Jaramillos also important Indice bibliogrfico (see entry 174).

clnica y ciruga, ciencias bsicas naturales y biotecnologa, and epistemologa, metodologa,
pedagoga y lingstica, and within groups by year of appearance. Entries 112 correspond to
medical works of Eugenio Espejo, and 1326 to biographical studies of Espejo. Entries 112 are
listed in chronological order; entries 1326 are listed by author; and entries 27323 appear in
chronological order as already noted and by title (not always in alphabetical order). Includes an
author index of twentieth-century authors, broken down into national editions, original foreign

Items 132 and 133, however, do not include the majority of government documents issued in the
second half of the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. But they do include insightful and
informative articles on booksellers and the book trade in Ecuador, which were originally published
in El Comercio, Hoy, and La Hora as were also the monthly lists of publications.

Covers materials published through 1995. Consists of 8,814 entries. Annotated with author and
series indexes. Broader in scope than the title implies because it also describes and discusses other
published materials in the humanities and social sciences inasmuch as everything is grist to the
historians mill in the fullness of time. In this regard it should be noted that historical is used in
reference to the discipline. Therefore, this is an enumerative or systematic bibliography of
historical and related studies and published sources, not a chronological account of ecuatoriana.

222. Muoz, Bonifacio. Obras de autores ecuatorianos: catlogo especial de la Librera
Sucre de Bonifacio Muoz Hnos., dedicado al pueblo de Guayaquil en su centenario...
Quito: Tipografa y Encuadernacin Salesianas, 1920. 144 pp.
The most important of several catalogs of ecuatoriana issued by the Muoz brothers (Bonifacio
and Leonardo J.), who were major collectors of ecuatoriana as well as booksellers during most of
the twentieth century.
38
The Librera Sucre was established in 1907. Unfortunately, Bonifacios
attempt to convert it into a lending library resulted in its eventual bankruptcy, in the early 1920s.
Some of Bonifacios holdings were acquired for Duke University Library by John Tate Lanning in
the early 1940s.
Leonardo Muoz is reputed to have amassed an exceptionally replete collection of ecuatoriana.
Before his demise in 1987, he tried to sell it to the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana at a fraction of
its true value, but budget restrictions precluded its acquisition. No one seems to know what
happened to Leonardos collection after his death.

on lawyers and legal societies in Cuenca. Indexed by subject.
225. Naranjo, Plutarco (1921), and Carlos A. Rolando (18811969). Juan Montalvo, estudio
bibliogrfico. 2 vols. Quito: Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, 1966.
Vol. 1 is an analysis of Los escritos de Montalvo; vol. 2, Bibliografa montalvina, lists
publications of and on Montalvo in chronological order through early 1966. Indexed. N.B.
Naranjo incorporated and expanded upon Rolandos Don Juan Montalvo, 18321932 (entry
266). Hence, the inclusion of Rolandos name in the statement of responsibility. Montalvo
(18321889) was a staunch opponent of Garca Moreno and one of the most important literary
figures of Spanish America at large, not just of Ecuador, in the nineteenth century.

the past and ecuatorianistas or foreign historians by one of the leading national cultivators of the

Roberto Andrade (18501938) was one of the most important liberals of the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, a major political commentator, and a prolific writer. Perhaps his most
important work was his monumental Historia del Ecuador (Guayaquil: Reed and Reed,

of the independence period.

A guide to some of the considerable body of pamphlet literature of the country on economic and
social themes. Consists of 4,936 entries corresponding to approximately 4,500 pamphlets on
economic and social tropics relating to Ecuador, nominally published between and inclusive of
1817 and 1989. Some of the entries are redundant. The alleged 1817 imprint does not exist. The
corresponding item does exists, but it was published in 1871, not in 1817. The earliest entry in
fact dates from 1824. Organized thematically. Indexed by authors and dates of publication.
The question of what constitute a pamphlet is addressed but not satisfactorily answered. The cut
off point between a pamphlet and a book was supposed to have been 100 pages in extension, but
this definition was not uniformly observed. Also includes some relevant materials published in
other countries.

and 29 serials). Specifies repository in which seen. There are a considerable number of pre1831
publications in archives, libraries, museums, and private collections in Guayaquil, Cuenca, and
elsewher not seen by or known to Stols. Nonetheless, it cannot be overemphasized that Stolss
work is the most complete bibliography of early ecuatoriana attempted as of July 2002. It is also a
model of descriptive and enumerative bibliography.
Opens with a solid history of the press in Ambato, Quito, Guayaquil, and Cuenca in that order.

Descalzi (19121990) published little in terms of titles but much in terms of volume, mostly on
the history of the colonial period, especially of his native Quito (the city), and the theater. See, for
example, his three vol. La Real Audiencia de Quito, claustro en los Andes, Historia de Quito
colonial, vol. 13 (Quito: Edit. Universitaria, 19781988) and six vol. Historia crtica del teatro

A bibliography of Shuar and Achuar studies. Organized by authors and dates of publication.
Employs symbols to indicate the nature of the materials (e.g., = is the symbol for literatura,

within described are studies of the Shuar rather than of the more evasive and much less well
known Achuar. Reprinted in 1983.
311. Watson, Gayle Hudgens. Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela: An Annotated Guide to

Useful for works published through the 1960s. Registers and comments upon 894 articles, books,
and periodicals. Arranged by subjects and within subject by author, including issuing corporate
body. Ecuador is the least well covered of the three countries, partly because of the relative lack
of bibliographic production vis--vis Colombia and Venezuela, partly because the University of
Texas at Austin and Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where this work was done had not
collected systematically or well on Ecuador. A country index would have been helpful. Based on
the authors 1967 master of library science thesis, University of Texas at Austin.

Includes articles as well as books. Lists 1,116 items. Organized by authors. Indexed by title,
subject, and periodical titles. Beware of the pitfalls in this and the preceding two items.
Unpublished theses, for example, are described as though they were published
works. Nonetheless, all three bibliographies list many important albeit sometimes obscure
materials. Based largely on the holdings of the Columbus Memorial Library.

Included for the sake of completeness. The coverage of materials on Ecuadorian dialects of
Spanish is minimal (being limited to three books and six articles),
56
and does not reflect the true
magnitude of the work done during the eighteen years Woodbridge covers. Furthermore, he was
cavalier when it comes to citations.

3. Purchased by the bookdealer Obadiah L. Rich (1783?1850) in 1830 at a book stall in Madrid.
Eighteen years later Rich sold this ms. along with the many other materials that now constitute the
Rich Collection in the New York Public Library to the collector James Lenox (18001880),
whose library became part of the New York Public in 1897. In between, but just for a few years,
the New York Public Library copy of the ms. original of the 1807 revision belonged to Henri
Ternaux Compans (18071864) who acquired it in exchange from Rich in 1845, only to sell it
back to Obadiah in 1848, just in time for the latter to resell it to Lenox. There are also ms. copies
of the 1807 version in the John Carter Brown Library (the Kingsborough) and in the Cornell
University Library (the Rich). See Jos de Ons, La Biblioteca americana de Alcedo,
translated with an introduction by J. Roberto Pez, Boletn de la Academia Nacional de Historia,
37:89 (enero/jun. 1957):90102, originally published as Alcedos Bibliotheca Americana,
Hispanic American Historical Review, 31:3 (Aug. 1951): 530541. Ons is in error, however,
regarding the John Carter Brown Library copy; he states, The Kingsborough manuscript, now in
the John Carter Brown Library, is in all probability a copy of the first [or 1791] draft (p. 541).
As already noted, the Kingsborough ms. is unequivocally a copy of the 1807 revision or final
version; it is even dated. The New York Public holographic original (Rich 1) is a quarto,
consisting of 468 leaves whereas the John Carter Brown copy (Spanish Codex 69) is a 2 vol.
folio, consisting of 1,028 consecutively numbered leaves.
4. Reprinted in Prosistas de la colonia: siglos XVXVIII, Biblioteca ecuatoriana mnima,
[9](Puebla, Mxico: Editorial J.M. Cjica Jr. S.A., 1959): 547587. See also the added
Introduccin by Zaldumbide (pp. 529545) in which he muddies the waters by erroneously
NOTES
maintaining that the New York Public Library ms. dates from 1809 and that it constituted a third
version, that of 1807 being the second. Zaldumbide cites Ons as his source for these
absurdities, but nowhere does Ons make such claims, stating quite clearly that insofar as is yet
known, there are only the two versions, that of 1791 in the Bibliothque Nationale, and that of
1807 in the New York Public Library.
5. A revision, update, and considerably augmented version of Alonso Altamiranos La
bibliotecologa en el Ecuador, Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano 1975 y Bibliografa
ecuatoriana no. 6. (entry 16): 1115.
6. In this regard, it should be noted that it was not until Hamerly was able to review a complete
set of the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Centrals Bibliografa ecuatoriana (entry 30) and
its successor the Anuario bibliogrfico ecuatoriano (entries 1618) in the Biblioteca Miguel Daz
Cueva (July 2002) that he was able to locate this entry within the Anuario, flesh out and correct
the citation thereof, and determine its contents. Note too that the description of Altamirano (entry
5) in Hamerlys Bibliography of Ecuadorian Bibliographies, taken from secondary references, is
incorrect.
7. See also the supplement thereto, Indice de traducciones ecuatorianas: primer suplemento
(Quito: Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, 1954; 11 pp.), which was incorporated into the second
edition.
8. Sometimes the name of the printer, Seccin Publicaciones, JUNAPLA is given, instead of the
names of the publishers in the case of items 11 and 12.
9. Appears as an open entry in OCLC and RLIN, but, unfortunately, Andrade Chiriboga died
before he could complete and publish the promised vol. on twentieth-century newspapers of his
native Cuenca. Also OCLC and RLIN assign the somewhat misleading subject heading of
Ecuadorian periodicals Bibliography to this work instead of the more accurate Ecuadorian
newspapers Ecuador Cuenca Bibliography.
10. Includes, revises, and augments their previously published: Saraguro: bibliografa general.

11. The faux pas in the title was subsequently corrected, beginning with the second issue.
12. No. 7 (1976) of Bibliografa ecuatoriana featured bibliographies of and on Gabriel Garca
Moreno (see entry 183) and Jorge Icaza. The latter (pp.127146) was apparently compiled by one
or more members of the grupo de trabajo of the Biblioteca General de la Universidad Central
del Ecuador, Lilin Bez, Carmen Carrera, Ximena Chiriboga, Ivn Egez, and Mercedes
Meneses.

(1895-1935) (Quito: UNESCO, 1995; 167 pp.)
21. The surviving issues that are known have been reprinted as: El Eco del Azuay, Coleccin de
peridicos ecuatorianos, 3 (Quito: Banco Central del Ecuador, 1993; xliv, 167 pp.). Includes
introductory studies by Alberto Muoz Vernaza, El primer peridico del Azuay (pp. xiiixxvii)
and Csar Dvila Andrade, El combatiente sedentario (Fray Vicente Solano) (pp. xxixxli), and
model indexes by Miguel Daz Cueva (pp. 99166).
22. Not seen by the authors.
23. The authors have been unable to ascertain the other titles in this series.
24. Not seen by the authors.
25. Founded in 1972.
26. Apparently updated by Cristina Carrin, Ecuador; Amrica Latina; Trabajos realizados con
la participacin del ORSTOM; Repertorio bibliogrfico de los documentos y libros disponibles
en la biblioteca de la Misin ORSTOM en el Ecuador = quateur; Amrique Latine; Travaux
realiss avec la participation de lORSTOM; Rpertoire bibliographique des documents et
ouvrages disponibles la bibliothque de la Mission ORSTOM en quateur (Quito: ORSTOM,
1996; 115 pp.). Not seen by the authors.
27. Not seen by the authors. Held only by the New York Public Library, according to OCLC and
RLIN, and therefore not available through interlibrary loan.
28. See also Guevaras critique of Carvalho-Netos Bibliografa del folklore ecuatoriano
(entries 6566) in Humanitas, 5:1 (1964): 135138.
29. Vols. 23 appeared in 1952, and vols. 45 in 1953.
30. Not seen by the authors. Apparently not available through interlibrary loan.
31. See also Ecuador en la investigacin francesa, aos 80 (Toulouse: GRAL/CEDOCAL-
Universit de Toulouse II-Le Mirail; Quito: Ediciones Abya-Yala, 1992. 1 unpaginated vol.),
which consists of fichas documentales ... [realizadas] conjuntamente [por] el GRAL (Grupo de
Investigacin sobre Amrica Latina del CNRS) y el CEDOCAL (Centro de Estudios
Documentarios sobre Amrica Latina). Not only is Ecuador en la investigacin francesa not
paginated, it is not indexed, and the fichas do not appear in any discernable order whatsoever.
Therefore, although it is comprised of bibliographic data, Ecuador en la investigacin francesa
does not constitute a bibliography.
32. See also Lens Bibliografa sobre paragonimiasis humana en el Ecuador: 1922 1979,
Revista ecuatoriana de medicina y ciencias biolgicas, 16:2 (1980): 125130.
33. Not seen by the authors.
34. Not seen by the authors; not available through interlibrary loan. No more instalments were
issued according to the Indice general de la Revista municipal: rgano oficial del M.I. Concejo
de Guayaquil: sumario de sus series durante los aos 1925 al 1938 (Guayaquil: Imprenta i
Talleres Municipales, [1938?]).
35. There is also an earlier but unpublished bibliography of SIL works on Ecuador: Mary Ritchie
Kay, Bibliography II: Indian Tribes of Peru and Ecuador ([Austin?]: Summer Institute of
Linguistics, [1964?]; 38 leaves).
36. Although there do not appear to be more recent bibliographies on SIL publications on
Ecuadorprobably because of the Institutes expulsion from the country in 1981, see their:
Microfiche Catalog: Publications of the Summer Institute of Linguistics (Dallas, Texas:
Academic Publications Department, Summer Institute of Linguistics, 1993); and Summer Institute
of Linguistics, International Publications Catalog (Dallas, 1995). The latter is supposed to be
reissued every three years.
37. Not seen by the authors.
38. See also Bonifacio Muoz, Catlogo especial de obras de autores nacionales de la Librera
Sucre (Quito: Tipografa de la Prensa Catlica, 1916; 48 pp.).
39. Fierro Bentez, Carrera, and Revelo Rosero, Bibliografa cientfica mdica ecuatoriana
publicada en el exterior (entry 109), pp. xivxvi; personal communication of Edgar Freire Rubio,
20 July 2002.
40. There is also a partial Ecuadorian edition under the same title that never circulated: Cuenca:
Ediciones del Departamento de Extensin Cultural del Consejo, 1973. 112 pp. That is to say, it
began to be printed in Ecuador but was left unfinished upon Norriss departure from the country.
The only known copy is in the Biblioteca Miguel Daz Cueva in Cuenca.
41. Also published in a somewhat updated version together with a substantially reduced,
minimally updated bibliography as La actual historiografa ecuatoriana y ecuatorianista and
Bibliografa temtica in Antologa de historia, Jorge Nez, compilador (Quito: FLACSO,
Sede-Ecuador: ILDIS, Fundacin Friedrich Mera, 2000): 348, 5161.
42. An interesting derivative of Ojeda is Cecilia Ortizs checklist of La prensa oficial
(18301940), Memoria, MARKA, Instituto de Historia y Antropologa Andina, 1 (nov. 1990):
257262. Unfortunately, neither Ojeda nor Ortiz indicate where specific newspapers may be seen,
but insofar as the city of Quito is concerned, Ortiz notes that the most complete and best
maintained repositories are the Archivo-Biblioteca de la Funcin Legislativa, the Biblioteca
Ecuatoriana Aurelio Espinosa Plit, and the Hemeroteca del Banco Central del Ecuador.
43. The same used to hold true for Great Britain. See, for example, David A. Prestons
mimeographed, virtually impossible to obtain Ecuador, the Physical and Social Background: A
Selected, Critical Bibliography (Leeds: Department of Geography, University of Leeds, 1965; 13
leaves).
44. Not seen by the authors. Not available through interlibrary loan.
45. For a partial update to Bueno and Rolando, see item 95.
46. See also Rolandos Conozca usted lo que fu el general Sr. don Eloy Alfaro (Guayaquil:
Universidad de Guayaquil, Departamento de Publicaciones, 1958; 147 pp.).
47. N.B. Costeos and serranos in Ecuador frequently differ in orthography, especially in the
spelling of names.
48. For an update on urban poverty in the country see Mauricio Len and Rob Vos, La pobreza
urbana en el Ecuador, 1988-1998: mitos y realidades (Quito: Frente Social Sistema Integrado de
Indicadores Sociales del Ecuador:Ediciones Abya-Yala, 2000; x, 86 pp.).
49. N.B. This is a fifteen, not a 115, page list of references as reported erroneously in several, but
not all, of the six OCLC and eight RLIN records of The Antiquities of Manabi.
50. Guayaquil: Tip. Gutenberg, 1906; 58 pp.
51. Supersedes the bibliography of 763 references in the authors Mamferos del Ecuador, Serie
Mamferos del Ecuador publicacin especial, 2 (Quito: Museo de Zoologa, Pontificia Universidad
Catlica del Ecuador: SIMBIOE, 1999).
52. Reprinted by Pablo Herrera in Antologa de prosistas ecuatorianos, 2 vol. (Quito: Impr. del
Gobierno, 18951896), 1:304316. Juan Freile Granizo errs in stating that Herrera was
responsible for the initial publication of the Catlogo de algunos escritores: Notas para una
introduccin a Juan de Velasco, Historia del Reino de Quito en la Amrica Meridional, 3
vols.,(Quito: Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, 19771979), 1:13.
53. Includes contributions by Carlos Paladines on La educacin en el Ecuador: de Garca
Moreno a Eloy Alfaro (pp. 3771) and Jorge Luis Gmez on Los institutos normales y la
Misin Pedaggica Alemana de 1914" (pp. 7381).
54. Chaves apparently saw only the 1894 vol. for 1893.
55. Karus Watink is the Shuar name of the Salesian priest Juan Carlos Zanutto.
56. Excluding the 1959, 1948, and 1936 editions of Jorge Icazas En las calles,
Huairapamushca, and Huasipungo, included by Woodbridge simply because they feature
glossaries.
57. For example, he begins by stating that his article is the fourth in a continuation of Nicholss A
Bibliographical Guide to Materials for the Study of American Spanish (Cambridge: Harvard
University Press, 1941) whereas the true title of this work is A Bibliographical Guide to
Materials on American Spanish and the statement of responsibility reads edited for the
Committee on Latin American Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies by Madaline
W. Nichols. Therefore Nichols was the editor, not the author of the book in question as
Woodbridge implies.

Steven L. Rubenstein, Alejandro Tsakimp: A Shuar Healer in the Margins of History, Fourth
World Rising (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2002). xxv + 322 pp. $70.00 (cloth);

Review by Marc Becker (marc@yachana.org), Truman State University
Alejandro Tsakimp is a Shuar shaman born in the 1940s, who lives and works in the Ecuadorian
Amazon. In 1988, Steven Rubenstein was a 26-year-old anthropology graduate student from
New York City interested in studying conflict between shamanism and Shuar Federation leaders.
This book, based on Rubensteins dissertation field research, undertaken between 1988 and 1992,
excels in its analysis of the encounters between Tsakimps and Rubensteins very different worlds
as it extends far beyond that initial topic to touch on a wide variety of themes, including some of
the moral and political dilemmas inherent in ethnographic research.
The book is organized into three parts. The first part (Introductions) establishes the setting for
the study. As the title implies (In the margins of history), Rubenstein examines how scholars
have traditionally understood and portrayed the Shuar and places his work within that context. In
particular, he questions the portrayal in classic studies such as Rafael Karstens 1935 The
Headhunters of Western Amazonas and M.W. Stirlings 1938 Historical and Ethnological
Material on the Jvaro Indians of the Shuar as the most warlike people in South America.
Rather, Rubenstein examines how Shuar violence is a response to state aggression (pp. 29-30).
Building on these ideas, Rubenstein takes his analysis well beyond the now well-worn but
curiously persistent constructions of Indians as noble savages. He does not present a romantic
image of the Shuar; instead, he engages the complexities of human interactions. Rubenstein
recognizes both shamans and Federation leaders as humans complete with their flaws and failures
together with their successes. He touches on issues of identity, authority, and political
representation, including the theme of who has and gains the authenticity and legitimacy to speak
for the Shuar (p. 43). In his sensationalistic 1995 book Savages, Joe Kane examined the
complexity of these issues for the Huaorani, and it would have been interesting to pursue further
these same issues for the Shuar in the context of a scholarly book. Unlike Kane, Rubenstein is
sensitive to the political implications of deconstructing these struggles which limits his willingness
to criticize his friends and hosts. As the series editors note in an afterword, anthropologists have
talked about deconstructing each others and their informants texts as if it were a kind of game
without the recognition that this practice can pull apart peoples families and social lives (p.
255). Rubenstein does not seek personal and short-term academic gains at the risk of harming the
Shuars political struggles.
Rubenstein notes that he quickly realized that his initial intent to study conflicts between shamans
and political leaders as a clash between tradition and modernity was overly simplistic (p. 12).
Although rarely applied as an analytical model to indigenous struggles in Ecuador, Red Power
Indian rights movements in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s often inverted the social
dynamics of activists relationship to their broader culture as compared to other contemporary
social movements. Unlike leaders of civil rights and anti-war movements in the 1960s, Indian
activists presented themselves as conservative traditionalists bent on preserving their culture while
the modernizing progressives were Uncle Toms willing to sell out tribal interests to the
dominant culture. Rubenstein notes the complexities of interactions between subversive and
conservative stances toward culture, political organization, and the government, and it would be
interesting for other students of Ecuadors indigenous movements to reflect as well on these
dynamics.
What really interests Rubenstein and truly motivates this study is the issue of shamanism and the
role it plays in Shuar culture. He notes that it was Michael Harners 1972 book on Shuar
shamans Jvaro: People of the Sacred Waterfalls that inspired him to study the Shuar.
Rubenstein maintains that Harners depiction of the Shuar, based on field research conducted in
the late 1950s, is largely accurate. Instead of challenging or rewriting that work, he extends his
analysis into new areas which often results in interesting observations. For example, Rubenstein
describes how the interactions between Shuar shamans with shamans from other parts of Ecuador
results in a type of syncretic shamanism (even though he does not use that term). The impact of
globalization on shamanism is a fascinating topic that would be worthy of further study.
The second part (His Stories) comprises about half of the text of the book, and consists almost
exclusively of edited transcripts of interviews that Rubenstein conducted with Alejandro Tsakimp
between May 1990 and July 1991. Rubenstein makes it clear that the purpose of this life story is
not to present a linguistic analysis of the Shuar language or a study of Shuar narrative structures,
and instead points readers to Janet Hendricks excellent 1993 To Drink of Death for such
material. Instead, a series of eight chapters touches on a wide variety of themes, including familial
relations, marriage, death, religion, and disease. It is unclear how some of these topics (like lying)
relate to the books theme. One might also legitimately wonder whether Tsakimp should be listed
as a co-author inasmuch as approximately half of the book consists of the shamans stories.
Indeed, it would be interesting to see how the book would have differed had Tsakimp been a full
co-author.
This section of the book includes two lengthy chapters on shamans and the Shuar Federation. As
with the rest of this section, the material is presented from Tsakimps perspective, a middle-age
male somewhat at odds with Shuar Federation leadership. This leads to almost incidental asides
which would be fascinating themes for further analysis. For example, in a solitary paragraph
Tsakimp mentions differences between male and female shamans (p. 148). Although Rubenstein
later notes cultural norms which limited his contact with Shuar women, it would be intriguing to
explore the issue of female shamans. As far as I know, little work has been done on this topic.
Similarly, Rubenstein hints at themes related to the political organization of the Shuar that present
themselves as important topics for further study. For example, scholars often present the
formation of the Shuar Federation in 1964 as the first indigenous organization in Ecuador
(mistakenly, I would argue, since in 1926 Jess Gualavis had already organized the Sindicato de
Trabajadores Campesinos de Juan Montalvo in Cayambe). What led to the formation of the
federation? How does it work? What role do women play in these politics? Rubenstein mentions
splits within the Shuar Federation and different leadership styles, but it would be interesting to
learn more about this. Rubenstein spent many hours interviewing Federation leaders and he
mentions other studies that he has in preparation. Hopefully in time he will give these themes
their due consideration.
In all fairness, in the concluding section (The Return) Rubenstein reflects on why it might not be
politically wise to pursue such topics. He notes how anthropological field research may likely
embarrass or compromise the Shuar Federation (p. 246). Indeed, such sensitivity to the potential
political implications of this study is admirable. In many ways, this final section of the book with
its reflections on colonial relations, elite privileges, and the role of informants in anthropological
field research is the most compelling part of the book.
Rubensteins book is a fascinating study of Shuar culture, and makes an important contribution to
the growing body of literature on this ethnic group.

States Department of State or Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana Benjamn Carrin).
Ordinarily sic is not italicized but it should be when inserted between square brackets
within quoted matter.
6s. Paginate the entire contribution, from 1 through n. Note, however, that it is
impossible to paginate works published on-line.
6t. Do not use headers (including running titles) or footers for the same reason.
6u. Acronyms should be employed sparingly or better still avoided unless they are
commonly used (e.g. NGO for non government organization). Acronyms should always
be spelled out on first occurrence.
7. Citation style: Contributors must follow the author-date or text-reference system as
explained in chapter 16, Documentation 2: Author-Date Citation and Reference Lists in
The Chicago Manuel of Style, 14
th
ed. (p. 637-699) with accommodation for archival and
other unpublished materials. Although no comparable manual appears to exist in
Spanish, authors will find David William Foster, Daniel Altamiranda, and Carmen de
Uriostes The Writers Reference Guide to Spanish (Austin: University of Texas Press,
2000) helpful.
Full (not abbreviated) names must be employed in the bibliography or references. Also
note that nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions
(but not articles within titles and prepositions) are uppercased in English language titles,
but usually lower cased in Spanish language titles except, of course, for proper and place
names. For a more complete discussion and rules governing other languages see chapter
16 of The Chicago Manuel of Style.

Although not mandatory and there are those who would argue that it is incorrect, the
editors prefer to capitalize the first word in the title under which a title main entry work is
usually entered in bibliographies and library catalogs.
N.B. In reference to reprints of historic or publication of archival materials, include the
original year of publication or year(s) when written. Said year(s) should be given in
brackets and precede the year in which reprinted or published.
7d. Archival materials and other primary sources: Primary source references should
include the name of the archive, library, museum, or private collection in which the
source is to be found, the series title (if applicable), and any numbering that applies to the
series or the piece, the date of the source, and the title of the source if it has one. The
date of the source may be day and month as well as year specific. Titles may be assigned
to untitled sources. Because the author-date system does not lent itself well to the
description of archival and other primary source materials, the editors of Ecuadorian
Studies / Estudios ecuatorianos will entertain specific queries, but please consult chapter
15, especially 15.277 through 15.413, of The Chicago Manuel of Style first.
