Abstract


The quality of records of all sorts regarding the type of books found in the libraries of the Canary Islands is enriched on some occasions by the inclusion of precise references to specific works. Such is the case of the Apologetic Letter (1735), by the Franciscan Manuel Fernández Sidrón. The aim of this work is to analyze the margins of this letter, where a considerable amount of quotations and references to authors and works can be appreciated. Althought the acceptance of a particular aim for these references is taken for granted, the marginal quotations disclose a whole world of books revealing not only the personal readings and tastes of the author, but also more general interests.
