CASTANO, Ana. Sermons and “Relaciones de fiestas”: Editorial Aspects and Handling of Circumstances (Alonso Ramírez de Vargas’ Sagrado padrón). Bibliographica [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.2, pp.61-90.  Epub Nov 29, 2024. ISSN 2594-178X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iib.2594178xe.2022.2.348.

This paper reviews the editorial history of Sagrado padrón, written by Alonso Ramírez de Vargas, a work describing the festivities for the 1690 dedication ceremony of the Church of San Bernardo in the Mexican capital of New Spain. The volume also includes nine sermons and one elegy. This article brings to light two editions of the Sagrado padrón and two different issues of the 1691 edition, a fact hitherto unknown by scholars and bibliographers who had previously studied this piece. This history illustrates the literary and editorial links between sermons and the writing of “relaciones de fiestas”. These connections are also reflected in the primary texts and paratexts of said sermons and the accounts they hold.

Keywords : “Relaciones de fiestas”; sermons; Alonso Ramírez de Vargas; New Spain’s printing press; Sagrado padrón; circumstantial sermons.
