A catalog of Filipiniana at Valladolid

This document is a critical catalog of the Filipiniana Collection housed in the Augustinian College of Valladolid, Spain (Colegio de Filipinos). The collection's genesis was Father Tomás Gresa's resolution in 1891 to form a library of Philippine-related books. It was significantly developed by Father Eduardo Navarro in the 1890s through the acquisition of rare materials from Europe, despite initial institutional reluctance. The catalog lists 2,834 materials, including printed books and manuscripts, spanning from the late 1500s to the early 1900s, with a focus on historical and linguistic works. Its publication in 1973 by the Ateneo de Manila University Press, based on an initial listing by Dr. Domingo Abella, served to make this valuable archive accessible to researchers and scholars worldwide, thus promoting the cultural life and prestige of the Filipino nation.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes.
