Abstract

BROCHADO, Adelaide. Regulating the bookbinders’ and the booksellers’ trade: vindication, certification and supervision (1732-1770). Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal [online]. 2023, vol.ser2, n.20, e202317.  Epub Oct 30, 2023. ISSN 2183-3176.  https://doi.org/10.48751/cam-2023-20325.

Based on the documentation preserved in the Lisbon Municipal Archive, we analyse, for the period between 1732 and 1770, the way in which the normative production shaped and structured the activity of the officials in the bookbinders’ and the booksellers’ trade, focusing on the practices of vindication, certification and supervision generated by those who had the tutelage or were tutored by the regulatory device supported by the municipal administrative structure.

Keywords : Bookbinders’ and booksellers’ trade; Regulation; Vindication; Certification; Supervision.
