Abstract
GARONE, Marina. Letters for an indomitable language: Typography and colonial edition in Otomi. Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2013, n.49, pp.119-168. ISSN 2448-6922.
If colonial edition has a special particularity in New Spain, it's in its printed production in Indian languages since, unlike other viceroyalties, editing in the native languages of Mexico was conducted entirely in local presses. Of all the languages in which books were produced, Otomi is probably the one that imposed the most challenges on colonial workshops. This paper presents an overview of the four printed editions in that language throughout the colonial period, focusing on the three from the eighteenth century.
Keywords : typesetting; press; editing; Otomi language; New Spain.
