LEE LIBRARY BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY PR0V0, UTAH Dedicated to the pioneers or bibliography and their successors in Ecuador, some or whom I had the pleasure to meet and with several or whom I was rortunate enough to work, especially: Carlos Manuel Larrea (1887—1983) in Quito; Olaf Holm (1915-1996), Mauro Madero Moreira (d. 1973), and Carlos A. Rolando (1881—1969) in Guayaquil; and above all, my tocayo Miguel Diaz Cueva (1919—) in Cuenca. Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from Brigham Young University http://www.archive.org/details/bibliographyofec48hame CONTENTS Preface ix An Overview 1 Bibliographies 13 Added Author Index 57 Suhject Index 59 PREFACE This work lists every bibliography or ecuatoriana in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences published through 2000, including those that were/are online, ror which the author was able to obtain or to establish a satisfactory description as or June 2001 (altogether 252 items). For the most part the descriptions, annotations, and evaluations are based on examination or the materials themselves. This bibliography is limited to bibliographies per se. Therefore catalogs or manuscripts and guides to research collections do not appear here within. Historiographic and related studies, including review articles, are also excluded ror the most part. Librarians and scholars seeking guides to and studies or 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 or the author's Historical Bibliography of Ecuador (item 117). Although we have endeavored to be comprehensive, no doubt one or more 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 ambicion de todo trabajo de este tipo es la de ser lo mas completo posible. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, no dejo de acompafiarnos el convencimiento intimo de que la meta propuesta, la exhaustividad, no era sino ilusoria y que al final no faltaran algunos trabajos que, desgraciadamente, hayan escapado de nuestra vigilancia." The citation system used is that employed in the humanities as spelled out in chapter 15, "Documentation 1: Notes and Bibliographies," or The Chicago Manual of Style. Among other considerations, this means that parentheses employed by author or publisher within titles have been retained. Three-em dashes ror repeated names, however, have not been used because it is the author's firm belief that each bibliographic entry should stand on its own. This is not a matter or whimsey but or functionality. It is much easier to consult Bibliograpa francesa sobre el Ecuador (1Q68-1QQ3) (item 153): 4. l 14 ed. (Chicago: University or Chicago Press, 1993). bibliographies in which each entry stands on its own. Also the number of pages or leaves for books is given. 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. 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 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. 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 authors—to 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 inasmuch as this bibliography is country driven rather than discipline oriented. Thematic access, however, is available through the Subject Index. The numbers in the indices refer to entries, not to pages. Modified Library of Congress subject headings have been used. Ecuador has not been added to thematic headings or place names. By itself Ecuador refers to general works (i.e, bibliographies that cover multiple aspects of Ecuadorian Studies). The form heading of bibliography has been dropped. Chronological subdivisions more in keeping with the specifics and nuances of Ecuadorian history have been adopted. A few words as to the bricks and mortar that went into the fabrication of this bibliography and as to the author's working papers are in order. This work is the byproduct of forty years of research in archives, bookstores, libraries, museums, and private collections in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Seven of those years were spent in Ecuador itself. The author holds a Ph.D. in history and a M. of Libr. and has been a university professor, translator, historical researcher, editor, bibliographer, and academic A major problem with what may well turn out to be the most comprehensive bibliography of Ecuadorian authors ever undertaken, the Diccionario bioliogrdpco ecuatoriano (item 37) is that it employs three- em dashes for repeated names, rendering it difficult to use as a "dictionary." It also uses the author-date system or citation. To rind 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). 4 Prepared under the direction of the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR, 2" ed., 1998 rev.

Michael T Hamerly John Carter Brown Library Providence, Rhode Island 2001 AN OVERVIEW As or June 2001, the history or bibliography in Ecuador had yet to he written. Heretofore the only attempt to establish some or the henchmarhs has heen Alfredo Chaves's considerably dated hut still indispensable 1958 Fuentes principals de la bibliograpa ecuatoriana (item 63). According to Chaves the first bibliography "realizado en el Ecuador" was Juan de Velasco's Catdlogo de algunos escritores antiguos y modernos del Peru y Quito (item 243), which appeared in 1881, nearly a century after the author's death. Velasco, a quiteno— having been born in Riobamba—was one of the eighteenth-century Jesuit expuisos. His Catdlogo ae 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. Velasco's second entry, for example, was the Seville 1535 edition of Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes's Historia general natural ae las Indias [sic], which Velasco maintained "se imprimio junta con la de Jerez, en 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] Inaias—a distinct work from Oviedo's earlier De la natural nystoria ae las Inaias (Toledo, 1526). Furthermore, the version that included Francisco de Xerez's Conquista del Peru did not appear until 1547, and it was printed in Salamanca, not in Seville.
