joaquin ibarra, 1725-1785: a tentative list of holdings
JOAQ^UIN IBARRA, 1725-1785: A TENTATIVE LIST OF HOLDINGS IN THE REFERENCE DIVISION OF THE BRITISH LIBRARY H. G. WHITEHEAD printers in eighteenth-century Spain are commonly regarded as the leaders of the revival in printing standards in that country. Of the three, Joaquin Ibarra, Benito Monfort, and Antonio de Sancha, it is Ibarra who is generally considered to be pre-eminent. He was born in Saragossa on 19 July 1725, the son of Juan Ibarra and Mariana Marin, baptized on the following day in the church of S. Maria Magdalena and given the names Braulio Elias Joaquin Benito. Of his earliest years nothing is known, but in 1735, his elder brother ManueP arrived in Saragossa from Madrid, where he had worked as a compositor in the printing works of Antonio Marin, his maternal uncle. Manuel had just been nominated printer to the University of Cervera, founded a few years previously in 1717, and was on his way to take up his new post. Joaquin went with him as an apprentice and stayed in the university town for seven years, learning his trade and gaining as much education as he could. The two brothers parted in 1742, when Joaquin moved (though where to remains mysterious) whilst Manuel stayed on at the University until 1749. It has been suggested that Joaquin went to Madrid- to work with his uncle Marin during the years 1742-53. However, in this latter year he reappeared, w^ith his own printing shop in the Calle de las Urosas, from where he issued, in that same year, three works, none of which, unfortunately, is in the British Library.^ THREE The productions of this press show a conscious effort to restore to Spanish printing the high standards of a previous age. In this, Ibarra was so successful that he is justly ranked alongside Baskerville, Didot, and Bodoni as one of the outstanding printers of the eighteenth century. His technical skill as a printer has been assessed by others,"^ and it may suffice to mention here that he improved the quality of his inks quite independently, it seems, from what was being done elsewhere, smoothed and glazed his paper, and above all ran an efficient shop, to enter which was the highest honour to which an apprentice printer could aspire. Ibarra rapidly acquired a reputation as an instructor, and when years later a former pupil, Juan Jose de Sigiienza y Vera, published a little book on printing, he dedicated it to his former master's granddaughter, Maria Ifiiguez e Ibarra, and with touching loyalty acknowledged his debt.^ 199 At the height of his career Ibarra was official printer to Charles III, to the Archbishop of l\)ledi), and to the Real Academia de la Lengua. The King, indeed, played an important part in the revival of printing standards in Spain. As a youth he had been instructed by Ibarra's uncle Marin, and had done some amateur printing, whilst still an Infante de Espatia and before going to Naples. Now, after his accession to the Spanish throne in 1759, he granted various privileges to the printing confraternity. He excused them from military service {Real Cedula of 17 March 1763). He exempted them from tax on vermilion (Real Cedula of 22 March 1763). The state monopoly on lead was eased to favour punch-cutters and type-casters (Real Cedula of 5 January 1775). And, perhaps most important of all, he authorized setting up the Real Compaiiia de Impresores y Libreros de! Reino (Real Cedula of 24 July 1763), of which company Ibarra himself was a founder member. Ibarra's style of printing has been described by some as ^revolutionary\ which is not far from the truth. As late as 1744^54. type used in Spain was often old-fashioned, as can be seen in the products of the Mexican press of the eminent printer Eguiara y Eguren, who bought at this time from Spain the type to print his well-known Bihliotheca Mexicana. Ibarra died in 1785, but the press survived under the successive direction of his widow,*' sons, and grandson until 1836, when it was sold.^ The Secretary of the Academy reported Ibarra's death on 15 November 1785, and a short obituary notice by Clavijo y Fajardo (the translator of Buffon) appeared in volume 3 of the Mercurio de Espana, but apart from that his death went unnoticed. Nor was there any fitting commemoration of Spain's greatest printer until 1923, when the Municipality of Madrid placed a plaque on the wall of the house at no. 13 Calle de Nunez de Arce. The Ibarra press issued some 2,500 titles. Of those issued in Ibarra's lifetime the follow ing are noteworthy: the bilingual edition of Sallust, La Conjuracwn de Catihna y la Guerra de Jugurta (1772); the Royal Academy edition of Don Quijote (1780); the Breviarium Gothicum ad usum Sacelli Mozarabum (i775); ^^^ Nicolas Antonio, Biblwtheca Hispana Nova (1783-8), in two volumes, the work having been completed, along with the two volumes for the Biblwtheca Hispana Vetus (1788), by his widow. All these editions are in the British Library, and most in more than one copy. There are, for instance, three copies of the Sallust. The first was sent, presumably by the translator Gabriel Antonio de Borbon, the second son of Charles III, to George III, and now forms part of the King's Library. The second copy was sent to Grenville by his nephew Henry Williams Wynn. A note by Grenville in this copy states 'First edition and first impression. A present from Hen; Williams Wynn on his return from Spain, 1809. This translation was made by F. Perez, tutor to the Prince. Mr Waddelove, chaplain to the English Ambassador, Ld Grantham, procured the types from the Baskerville font.'^ The third copy came from the library of the Revd. C. M. Cracherode. Updike regarded this book as Ibarra's masterpiece and draws a parallel between it and some of the earlier productions of Bodoni. The title-page is engraved, and there are engraved head- and tail-pieces and initials designed by Mariano Salvador de Maella (later, in 1799, to become, together with Goya, first Court painter) and others (figs, i, 2). 200 CONJURACION DE CATIIINA Y .A A DE TUGURTA ALUSTIO CRISPO.

This splendid four-volume edition was planned by Vicente de los Rios and Francisco Antonio de Angulo, the Secretary to the Academy. A minute dated 11 March 1773 had suggested the issue ofa quarto edition with original engravings by members of the Academia de San Fernando, 'Una impresion correcta y magnifica de Don Quijote; en papel marquilla, [i.e. demy, ijy'x22\"] y en tomos de quarto, con laminas originales . . . y con los demas adornos correspondientes para que en todas sus partes tenga esta edicion la perfeccion posible.' The text was collated carefully with the editions of 1605,^ 1608, and 1615. Special paper from the Guarro mills in Catalonia was ordered and a new type cast from matrices made in Madrid by Jeronimo Gil for the press of the Biblioteca Real. It was an edition of about 1,500 copies: four are in the British Library (figs. 3, 4). Two years later Ibarra produced a charming reading edition in octavo, again in four volumes, and with many plates. The British Library has two copies of this edition, one from the library of George III, the other, imperfect in that it lacks the plates, from the Ashbee Collection. 203 PRIMERA PARTE DEL I N G E N I O S O HIDALGO DON QUIXOTE DE LA MANCHA.

Cervantes, Fl fngenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha (Madrid, 1780), vol. i, page i, 673.k. 13 Henry Swinburne, who visited Spain in 1775 and 1776, refers to tbe Ibarra Quixote: *There is now an edition of Don Quixote with prints taken from original drawings of the dresses and landscapes of the country, which has employed all the best engravers for some time past . . . Printing seems of late to be the branch they most excel in . . .'"^ And the most renowned of all English travellers in the Peninsula, Richard Ford, roundly declared: 'One word on the different and best editions of this Shakespeare of Spain. The works of Cervantes especially his capo d' opera "Don Quixote" have gone through many. Happy the man whose eye can glance on a goodly set of the earliest . . . the finest, that ''de lujo" was published for the Academy of Madrid, by Ibarra, 4 Vols. folio, 1780 and no grand library should be without it.'^' The Bibliotheca Hispana I etiis, and its companion the Bihiiothcca Hispatia Nova, compiled by Nicolas Antonio, were first issued in Rome, where the author was then living, during the years 1672-96. The work, in four volumes, is a bibliography ot Spanish authors from the time of Augustus the first Emperor to the year 1684 (when Antonio died), and in spite of errors and omissions has always been regarded as ot fundamental importance, 'a work of European fame, still in active use', to quote Sir Thomas Kendrick (St. James In Spain, London, i960, p. 146), and an outstanding work of Spanish bibliography. The two volumes ofthe Nova were issued with the Ibarra imprint in 1783 and 1788 (fig. 5), and both volumes of the Vetus in 1788, those of this latter date having been issued with the imprint of Ibarra's successors. Although the bibliographies such as Brunet, Palau, and Simon Diaz accept the 1783 imprint, the British Library's General Catalogue of printed books questions it, with the note 'The date 1783 on the title-page of tom. I is a printer's error for 1788'. This forthright statement (which must surely be corrected) is accompanied by no statement of authority in the Department's manuscript records, and it is difficult to accept it at its face value, especially as the colophon repeats the earlier date. The imprint states quite clearly: 'Matriti, apud Joachimum de Ibarra Typographum Regium MDCCLXXXIIF, and the colophon: 'Matriti, apud Joachimum de Ibarra, Anno MDCCLXXXIIF. By contrast, the imprint ofthe second volume (in which there is no colophon) reads: 'Matriti, apud Viduam et Heredes Joachimi de Ibarra Typographi Regii MDCCLXXXVIII'. In a work generally regarded as one of Ibarra's finest and noblest efforts, such a glaring misprint on the title-page, repeated in the colophon, would hardly have passed unnoticed. It is, I imagine, possible that the first volume was not issued until volume 2 was ready, by which time Ibarra had died, and the original imprint and colophon were allowed to stand. While Ibarra was printer to the Archbishop of Toledo he issued the Mozarabic Breviary of 1775 ('Apud Joachimum Ibarra S.C.R.M. & Dignit. Archiep. Typogr'.), the only earlier edition of which was printed by Hagembach in Toledo (1502). This magnificent folio has an engraved frontispiece and five full-page engraved illustrations after drawings by M. S. de Maella. The British Library copy bears the inscription 'Presented May '5- ^778'. I have consulted the British Museum Archivist, Miss K. Janet Wallace, who kindly tells me that the British Museum Book of Presents has the following entry for 205 BIBLIOTHECA HISPANA NOVA SJf'E HTSPANORUM SCRIPTORUM Q.UI AB A N N O .M t).

G.6266 15 May 1778: 'Breviarium Gothicum Folio Madrid 1778: from an unknown Person, by the hands of Dr Morton', [i.e. Charles Morton, 1716-99, Principal Librarian, 1776-99.] One or two other works deserve a brief mention: the paraphrases of the Psalms by Raynerius Snoy, Psalterium paraphrasibus illustratum, of which there were several seventeenth-century editions, were published by Ibarra in two editions in 1762 and 1780, both with a Latin prologue by Ibarra himself. Unfortunately, neither is in the British Library. Manuel de Aguirre, Indagacion y reflexiones sobre la geograjia, was publisbed by the Real Sociedad Vascongada de los Amigos del Pais in 1782, and printed by Ibarra, who wrote the notice at the beginning ofthe book. There are three copies of this edition in the British Library. Another notable production was the travel book by Antonio Pon/: Viage de Esparla, in twelve volumes, 1776, 1773-83 (vol. i only being ofthe second edition). This book was referred to by Gonzalez de Ameziia as representing, as it were, a dividing line 207 between ihc old and the new in Spain: it was the last travel book to be issued before i . a iMiincesada', the l'rench invasion of 1808, when so much of Spain's treasure was pillaged. In the list which follows, the earliest Ibarra in the British Library is dated 1755. As we ha\c already seen, the earlier years, from his leaving Cervera in 1742 until his appearance in Madrid in 1753, are obscure. There seems to be no clue as to his whereabouts or as to what, if anything, he printed. It seems therefore that Vindel's claim'- that Ibarra began to print in 1749 with the issue of Gonzalez de Barcia, Historiadorcs primitivos de las Indias Occidentales, 3 vols. (Madrid, 1749), cannot be accepted without question. He has assumed that the device on the title-page^^ contains the monogram of Ibarra, whereas it can almost as certainly be construed as representing Barcta (fig. 6). Ruiz Lasala is probably correct in saying^"*" that the work was printed in Madrid by Marin, who was the most experienced printer in Madrid at the time, and who used a monogram remarkably similar both to the Barcia design and to that later adopted by Ibarra himself;^ ^^ an indication, surely, that after leaving Cervera, Ibarra did indeed go to Madrid to complete his professional training by working with his uncle.

This gap in the brothers' ages undoubtedly led to the belief that Manuel was joaquin's uncle, an error which seems to have been nailed b\ Inocencio Ruiz Lasala in his Joaqtiin Ibarra y Murin (Zaragoza, 196S), p. 42. Manuel Ibarra's first work for his new emphners was printed the toliowing year, 1736: .Manuel Conil. llcriititi vida y exemplares virtudes del lencrahle docliir Jon Francisco dc Qjicrall. It is not in rhe British Library. Hut the British Library has 214 at least one example of the produetions of this press, B. Soler, Magistral sohre la Syntaxis de! Wcslrc Juan Torrc/la {Cervera, 1743)2 I. Ruiz Lasala, op. cit., p. 86. 3 A chronological list of the productions of the Ibarra press, from 1725 to 85, with a eontinuation to 1834, is given in 1. Ruiz Lasala. I have used this list extensively. For the early difficulties Ibarra encountered at the hands of Juan Curiel, appointed in 1753 as 'jucz privativo de imprentas'. see C. A. Gonzalez Paiencia, 'Joaquin Ibarra y el Juzgado de Imprentas\ Revista de la Bihlioteca., Archivoy Musco del .-iyuntamiento de Madrid, xiii (it)44), pp. 5-47. 4 e.g, by D. B. Updike, Printing Types (London, 2nd edn., 1937), vol. ii, pp. 55 etc. 5 A copy of this rare book, hitherto not in the British Librar>, has recently (June 1979) been acquired. The title reads: Mecanismo del arte de la Imprctita para facilidad dc los operarios que Ic I'.xerztifi.

I Iis dedicatory epistle opens tbus; 'Sefiora, faltaria a las leyes de la gratitud y reconocimiento si a la frente de esta obra no pusiera el nombre de vmd. como nieta de mi maestro a quien tengo grabado en mi corazon por lo mucho que me estimo y los tavores que le debi.' 6 i.e. his second wife Manucla Contera. 7 See Diario de Madrid, no. 366 (31 Mar. 18^6): 'La imprenta de Ibarra que tiene nueve prensas corrientes y acopio en ahundancia tanto de griego \ hebreo como demas utiles, se pone en venta.' 8 Henry Williams Wynn (1783-1856) was later knighted and became British Minister in Copenhagen. Robert Darley Waddilove (1736-1828) was Chaplain to the Embassy in Madrid, 1771-9. lie had access to the Library at the Kscorial and was presented with a copy ofthe Sallust by the translator. It is not clear whether ihis is the Grcnville copy. Grenville's statement aboul the translator is incorrect, as Perez Bayer shows in a note to his essay on the Phoenician language, which is included in tbe volume: 'V.\ sipuiente escrito . . . compusose en osequio del autor de la traduccion . . . el qual haviendolo leido, fue scrvido mandar que se pusiese a continuacion de su obra.' g i.e. tbe second edition. The first was not then known. 10 Iravcts thrnttgh Spain (London, 1779), vol. ii, p. 203.
