The «Catalan Ark» in the Royal Library

Abstract

The article lists the titles of books by Catalan writers preserved in the Catalan Ark of the Royal Library of the Palacio de Oriente in Madrid. The dedications of the authors are transcribed —in most of them in Catalan—, among which Jacint Verdaguer stands out for the number of volumes. The usual recipient of the works is Queen Regent Maria Cristina, a portrait of which presides over the aforementioned casket.
