Don Andrés Bello (1781-1865): Ensayo Bibliográfico

This bibliography first appeared in the Revista de Historia de América, Nos. 67-68. It is divided in two main parts: first, works by Andrés Bello; and second, works about him. The first of these parts contains all essential data pertinent to the four editions of his collected works as well as to works published individually. The second contains similar data pertinent to earlier bibliographies and to critical materials, including annotations wherever necessary. Such an extensive compilation of books and articles on Bello and the procedure of listing the exact location of his compositions in the various collections are both extremely useful. Addenda bring the compilation up to 1969, using a simple alphabetical increment to the original numerical sequence. The compiler is modest in suggesting his bibliography to be merely an attempt; actually it is meticulously done and the most complete on this particular subject to date.
