University of Santo Tomas Press. 159 viii Editor’s Note This Catalogue of rare Filipiniana periodicals of the Miguel de Benavides Library of the University of Santo Tomas covers the time from the begin- nings of journalism in the Philippines to 1945 (ca. one hundred years). The Catalogue is incomplete as many issues are missing. Since most libraries in Manila were destroyed during the liberation of the city in 1945, most of their collections were lost. Fortunately, the University of Santo Tomas which had already been transferred to Sampaloc and trans- formed into an Interment Camp, was spared together with its library hold- ings. These are available at the Antonio Vivencio del Rosario UST Heritage Library and in the University Archives. In the present Catalogue, we do not include issues beyond 1945 because they can be found in other libraries. The UST Miguel de Benavides Library acknowledges with gratitude the financial aid of the UnionBank of the Philippines through its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Justo A. Ortiz and its Corporate Philanthropic and Social Responsibility Director (CPSR) Mrs. Maria Gonzalez-Goolsby for their deep concern for the reprinting of the first three volumes: Volume 1; Volume 2, Part 1; and Volume 3, Part 1; and for the publication of the remaining cata- logues: Volume 2, Parts 2 and 3; Volume 4, Part 1 and the UST Archives Catalogue, Volumes 1 and 2. Sincere gratitude also goes to the following who provided invaluable assis- tance for the completion of this catalogue: María Luna Vico and Ma. Cristina O. Josue, who assisted us in preparing the technical description of each title; Jenneth G. Capule for the encoding of data; P r o f. Emeritus Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo, PhD, who helped us out in the editing; Kristi Ma. Fevie V. Macasaet for the layout of the catalogue and the technical description of some titles; and to the members of the staff who in one way or the other have contributed to the production and publication of this volume. Fr. Ángel Aparicio, O.P. Prefect of Libraries University of Santo Tomas ix Introduction This volume is the sixth of what one does not hesitate to describe as a herculean effort: the effort to catalogue the University of Santo Tomas Heritage Library’s vast holdings of rare books and periodicals. Nor is it a mere listing. Rather, one thinks of the word compendium” (from Latin compendere, which combines com (together) and pendere (weight), literally “what is weighed together”). The first three volumes are: Catalogue of Rare Books, University of Santo Tomas Library, Volume 1: 1492-1600 (2001); Catalogue of Rare Books, University of Santo Tomas Library, Volume 2, Part 1: 1600-1699 (2006); and Catalogue of Rare Books, University of Santo Tomas Library, Volume 3, Part 1, Filipiniana (1610-1945) (2005). In the Prologue to Volume 2, Part 1, Ms. Estrella S. Majuelo, Chief Librari- an of the UST Library, explained that, because of the scope supposed to be covered by this volume, it was decided that it would be divided into three parts, each one covering, respectively, 1600-1699, 1700-1799, and 1800-1899. So, Parts 2 and 3 of Volume 2 are published simultaneously with this volume. Volume 3, Part 1 con- tains Filipiniana rare books printed before 1945; Volume 3, Part 2 from 1946 on- wards will be published in the future. The present catalogue of rare periodicals is Part 1 of Volume 4. It includes newspapers, journals, and magazines printed in the Philippines — mainly by the UST Press. A catalogue of foreign rare periodicals will be published in a separate volume which will form Part 2 of Volume 4. The present volume is devoted to Rare Periodicals. Each entry contains inclusive years of publication, the name(s) of the editor(s), publisher, size, cost of subscription, holdings when available, a brief summary of its contents, and the con- dition of the copies. The Catalogue is divided into three sections: Filipiniana Rare Periodicals; UST Publications; and, other titles available in the UST Archives up to 1945. There is much in these pages to reward scholar and antiquarian. But there is also much to delight the ordinary reader who might be intrigued by the past... beguiled by vanished seasons... by beliefs, practices, songs, stories, lost and forgot- ten. And there is an additional incentive – the piquant sauce, if you will, that trans- forms an already tasty spread into a gourmet’s feast. This is the editorial voice – a learned, amiable, animated presence, who seems to invite one to wander at one’s leisure through pleasant, tree-shaded paths; an erudite but gentle guide, who hints at hidden treasures, and allows one to pause here and there, as one or the other flowering bush or towering tree catches one’s attention and demands closer scrutiny... until one is so engaged, so enchanted, that xi one longs to make a quick dash to the shelves, and see for oneself. To my mind, the publications seem to fall roughly within four major categories: (1) the very old – publications that, by virtue of their age alone, are fasci- nating, regardless of subject matter; (2) the historically important – publications which have played a part in the story of the nation; (3) the unusual or curious – publications whose subject matter arrests the attention so that one feels compelled to seek it out; and, (4) publications of interest primarily to specialists.
