Venezuelan and Venezolanist Bibliographies. A Short Tour

Abstract

This work is an attempt to outline a brief history of the bibliographies made in Venezuela or about Venezuela (“Venezolanists bibliographies”). Although the first list of books made in what is now Venezuela is the “Inventory” of Juan de Eulate (1633), the first bibliographer to record authors from Caracas –in the territory of what would later become Venezuela– was Juan José de Eguiara y Eguren in his Bibliotheca mexicana. From then on, a succinct tour is traced through the main Venezuelan and “Venezolanist” lists and bibliographies up to the present day.
