PREFACE

This work lists every bibliography or ecuatoriana in the humanities, the social sciences, and

the natural sciences published through 2000, including those that were/are online, ror which

the author was able to obtain or to establish a satisfactory description as or June 2001

(altogether 252 items). For the most part the descriptions, annotations, and evaluations are

based on examination or the materials themselves.

This bibliography is limited to bibliographies per se. Therefore catalogs or manuscripts and

guides to research collections do not appear here within. Historiographic and related studies,

including review articles, are also excluded ror the most part. Librarians and scholars seeking

guides to and studies or archives, libraries, museums, and private collections in Ecuador and

repositories located elsewhere in the world that have materials on Ecuador and/or

historiographic and related studies should consult the "Research Aids" and "Historiographic

and Related Studies" sections or the author's Historical Bibliography of Ecuador (item 117).

Although we have endeavored to be comprehensive, no doubt one or more bibliographies have

eluded us. But we take consolation in what Bernard Lavalle, a fellow historian, ecuatorianista,

and bibliographer has to say in this regard: "Por supuesto, la ambicion de todo trabajo de este

tipo es la de ser lo mas completo posible. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, no dejo de

acompafiarnos el convencimiento intimo de que la meta propuesta, la exhaustividad, no era

sino ilusoria y que al final no faltaran algunos trabajos que, desgraciadamente, hayan escapado

de nuestra vigilancia."

The citation system used is that employed in the humanities as spelled out in chapter 15,

"Documentation 1: Notes and Bibliographies," or The Chicago Manual of Style. Amongother considerations, this means that parentheses employed by author or publisher within

titles have been retained. Three-em dashes ror repeated names, however, have not been used

because it is the author's firm belief that each bibliographic entry should stand on its own.

This is not a matter or whimsey but or functionality. It is much easier to consult

bibliographies in which each entry stands on its own. Also the number of pages or leaves for

books is given.

Dates have been added to personal names whenever ascertainable because such information

is not only important but often difficult to obtain. When an author lives not only determinesthe resources and tools available to him/her but also has much to do with the questions he/she

asks and tries to answer. Also insofar as names are concerned, Ecuadorian usage has been

respected.

Unless otherwise noted the country of publication is Ecuador. Abbreviations of months are

those specified in Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules.

This is a main entry bibliography. This means that the entries are in alphabetical order by

author (including responsible corporate body) when there is only one author, by first author

named if there are two or three authors, and by title if there are more than four authorstooversimplify the rules of main entry. Access to secondary authors, multiple authors,

compilers, contributors, and editors, however, is provided through the Added Author Index.

The entries are enumerated. They are not subdivided by subjects inasmuch as this

bibliography is country driven rather than discipline oriented. Thematic access, however, is

available through the Subject Index. The numbers in the indices refer to entries, not to pages.

Modified Library of Congress subject headings have been used. Ecuador has not been added

to thematic headings or place names. By itself Ecuador refers to general works (i.e,

bibliographies that cover multiple aspects of Ecuadorian Studies). The form heading of

bibliography has been dropped. Chronological subdivisions more in keeping with the specifics

and nuances of Ecuadorian history have been adopted.

A few words as to the bricks and mortar that went into the fabrication of this bibliographyand as to the author's working papers are in order. This work is the byproduct of forty years

of research in archives, bookstores, libraries, museums, and private collections in North

America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Seven of those years were spent in

Ecuador itself. The author holds a Ph.D. in history and a M. of Libr. and has been a

university professor, translator, historical researcher, editor, bibliographer, and academic

A major problem with what may well turn out to be the most comprehensive bibliography ofEcuadorian authors ever undertaken, the Diccionario bioliogrdpco ecuatoriano (item 37) is that it employs three-

em dashes for repeated names, rendering it difficult to use as a "dictionary." It also uses the author-date system

or citation. To rind a specific entry, therefore, one has to open a volume more or less at random and scan pages,

sometimes many pages, backward or forward, to find the desired author and/or title(s).

AN OVERVIEW

As or June 2001, the history or bibliography in Ecuador had yet to he written. Heretofore the

only attempt to establish some or the henchmarhs has heen Alfredo Chaves's considerably

dated hut still indispensable 1958 Fuentes principals de la bibliograpa ecuatoriana (item 63).According to Chaves the first bibliography "realizado en el Ecuador" was Juan de Velasco's

Catdlogo de algunos escritores antiguos y modernos del Peru y Quito (item 243), which appeared

in 1881, nearly a century after the author's death. Velasco, a quiteno having been born inRiobambawas one of the eighteenth-century Jesuit expuisos. His Catdlogo ae algunosescritores was not a bibliography of ecuatoriana per se, however. Nominally a "catalog of

ancient and modern writers of Peru and Quito," in reality it was an annotated list of early

accounts of Spanish America, especially of Spanish South America. It was also unreliable.

Velasco's second entry, for example, was the Seville 1535 edition of Gonzalo Fernandez de

Oviedo y Valdes's Historia general natural ae las Indias [sic], which Velasco maintained "se

imprimio junta con la de Jerez, en solo cuerpo." Not only was Velasco mistaken as to the

title, he was wrong as to its contents. The Seville imprint was actually entitled Historia general

delas [sic] Inaiasa distinct work from Oviedo's earlier De la natural nystoria ae las Inaias(Toledo, 1526). Furthermore, the version that included Francisco de Xerez's Conquista del

Peru did not appear until 1547, and it was printed in Salamanca, not in Seville. There was

a Seville 1534 printing of Xerez's Uerdaaera relacion ae la conquista del Peru y prouincia del

Cwzco llamada la nueua Castilla, however. Velasco also neglected to specify the printers and

extent of the works of the 55 authors he "analyzed."

In addition to the question of primacy there is the matter of the relationship of Velasco's

Catdlogo de algunos escritores to his previously, but also posthumously, published Historia del

Reino de Quito en la America Meridional. Velasco's Catdlogo de algunos escritores does not

appear in the first, nominally complete but considerably flawed version of his Historia del

Reino de Quito. Velasco's Historia del Reino de Quito consists of three parts, Historia natural,

Historia antigua, and Historia moderna . The previously published French version corresponds

only to trie Historia antigua. The Catdlogo de algunos escritores does appear, however, in the

first truly complete ana scholarly acceptable version or the Historia del Reino de Quito, entitled

Padre Juan de Velasco, S.I. as transcribed and edited by Aurelio Espinosa Polit, at the end

or book four or the Historia natural. But it does not appear in the only other scholarly

acceptable version or the Historia del Reino de Quito, that or the Casa de la Cultura

Ecuatoriana. This may be because the Espinosa Polit and Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana

versions were prepared from different manuscript "originals." Therefore, it remains to be

determined if Velasco 's Catdlogo de algunos escritores was supposed to have been the

bibliographic component or his Historia del Reino de Quito.

Instead or Velasco's Catdlogo de algunos escritores, it could be argued that the rirst Ecuadorian

bibliography was Antonio de Alcedo y Bejarano's 1807 Bibliotneca americana (item 3), which

is generally reliable and descriptively acceptable. But there are also difficulties with this

contention. Although born in Quito, Alcedo was a Spaniard in every sense that mattered,

and his subject was the Americas at large, not the colony or his birth. Furthermore, Alcedo's

opus magnus was not published until many years after his death too, not until 19641965

to be specific. Nonetheless, his Bibliotneca americana constitutes a major source or

biographical and bibliographic information on the New World, including the future Ecuador,during the colonial period. Apparently, therefore, the earliest bibliography or ecuatoriana as

such was Nicolas Anrique Reyes's 1891 Noticia de algunas publicaciones ecuatorianas anteriores

a 17Q2 (item 12). It was probably also the rirst register or early Ecuadorian

imprints

"apparently" and "probably" because it is possible that an earlier bibliography or

Historia natural out is almost as flawed as tne 18401841 version.

3The bibliographic labors or Antonio de Alcedo have been wrongfully denigrated. Henry Harrisse

(18291910), for example, dismissed Alcedo's work, then available only in ms., as a "bulky compilation [that]

seems to be based entirely upon Pinelo-Barcia [i.e., Antonio de Leon Pinelo's 1629 Epitome de la biblioteca

en casa del autor, 1898-1907; 7 vols.), 6:cxvi.

ecuatoriana and/or register or early Ecuadorian imprints might surface some day, for reasons

that will become obvious shortly.

The remarks tnat follow, however, do not constitute a history or hihliography in Ecuador.

Instead they are offered as a summary or the status or bibliography on Ecuador as or the close

or the twentieth century and the beginning or the twenty-first. Some consideration,

nonetheless, or past bibliographic developments and milestones is in order.

Bibliography is much hetter developed and more robust in Ecuador than it was when Chaves

initially surveyed the scene in 1958, or when the author or this work first set root in that

country in 1962.

The rirst press in the future Ecuador was established in Ambato in 1755, by the Jesuits. It

was transferred to San Francisco de Quito in 1759- Guayaquil, the second most important

city in the Audiencia of Quito, did not acquire a press of its own until 1821, after it had

declared its independence from Spain. Cuenca, which was more populous than the port city

during the colonial period and the more accomplished of the two as a cultural and

ecclesiastical center, had to wait even longer, until 1828.

As of June 2001, the most comprehensive bibliography of early ecuatoriana was and probably

still is Alexandre A. M. Stols's 1953 Historia de la imprenta en el Ecuador de 1755 a 1830

(item 234). Stols's Historia de la imprenta has been supplemented, hut not complemented,

by Abel Romeo Castillo's 1956 and 1982 La imprenta de Guayaquil independiente (items 56

and 57). In this regard it should he noted that neither Stols nor Castillo are exhaustive

registers of the pre1830 imprints of Ambato, Quito, Guayaquil, and Cuenca. For early

imprints of Cuenca see Juan Cordero Ifiiguez and Bernarda Crespo Cordero's 1989

Bibliograpa azuaya del sigh XIX (item 72)

.

It cannot he overemphasized that the bibliographic register of nineteenth-century ecuatoriana

is far from complete. Cordero Ifiiguez and Crespo Cordero's Bibliograpa azuaya is the only

register of the publishing output of an Ecuadorian city during the entire nineteenth century,

Stols's and Castillo's works being limited to the early years of the press in Ambato, Quito,

Guayaquil, and Cuenca. But see Camilo Destruge's 19241925 Historia de la prensa de

Guayaquil (items 79 and 80) that provides, at least, solid coverage of the nineteenth-century

newspapers and periodicals of the port city.

The earliest attempt to establish a register of contemporary national publications appears to

have been Victor Leon Vivar Correa's 1892 "Hombres y cosas del Ecuador: noticia de

algunas puhlicaciones ecuatorianas" (item 246). The most recent is Edgar Freire Rubio's

hopefully ongoing Desde el mostrador del librero (item 1 05) . Freire Ruhio is, or, at least, was,

the manager of the Libreria Cima in Quito, one of the most important outlets for the

acquisition of national publications. Unfortunately, Freire's monthly newspaper column, of

which Desde el mostrador dellibrero is a periodic compilation, consists simply of listings of new

ana recent books ana issues of periodicals. It lacks collation statements and content

indicators.

Bibliograpbic control of ecuatoriana bas yet to be acbieved. Tbere was a two issue Boletfn

hibhogrdfico ecuatoriano (item 40), published in 1967, but efforts to establish ongoing national

bibliograpbies did not achieve fruition until nine years later. Tbe Biblioteca General de la

Universidad Central del Ecuador registered national publications more or less

comprebensively for several years during tbe second balf of tbe 1970s (see items 1315), and

tbe Cuenca brancb of tbe Banco Central del Ecuador's Centro de Investigacion y Cultura

engaged in a comparable effort during tbe late 1970s and tbe first two tbirds of tbe 1980s

(see items 85, 16, and 29, in tbat order). Botb attempts at bibliograpbic control were

commendable, but unfortunately neitber survived tbe bonanza years of tbe petroleum boom.

Tbat tbe autbor bas not yet been able to determine for certain wben tbe Biblioteca General

de la Universidad Central del Ecuador's Bibliograpa ecuatoriana ceased publication is

symptomatic of tbe lack of bibliograpbic control and of tbe difficulty in doing research on

Ecuador. Tbe Centro de Investigacion y Cultura 's Anua rio bibliogrdpco ecuatoriano died with

the 1987 issue. Freire's Desae el mostraaor aellibrero constitutes the only approximation to

date of a continuation of the Centro de Investigacion y Cultura's Anuario bibliogrdpco

ecuatoriano

.

When the first catalog of a library was compiled in Ecuador is unknown. It will probably turn

out to have been a manuscript inventory of the holdings of the Dominican predecessor of the

Biblioteca de la Universidad Central or of the Jesuit forerunner of the Biblioteca Nacional.

The first printed catalog of a library was that of the Biblioteca Publica del Azuay, each

volume of which was individually entitled: I, Ciencias eclesidsticas (Cuenca: Impr. la

Universidad, 1890); \\,Jurisprudenta (1890); IV, Historia (1890); V, Literatura (1891); VI,

Ciencias; VII, Medicina (1891); VIII, Artes y oficios (1891). Volume III never appeared. The

most recent published catalog of a library is the Diccionario bibliogrdpco ecuatoriano of the

Biblioteca Ecuatoriana "Aurelio Espinosa Polit" (item 37), the most extensive collection of

ecuatoriana anywhere in the world.

The first comprehensive register of ecuatoriana was Carlos Manuel Larrea's 19481953

Bibliografia cientifica del Ecuador (item 141). Largely based on his own extensive collection,

Larrea's bibliography, of which he produced three editions (items 141-143), constitutes a

quasi-catalog of what is one of the most important collections of Ecuadorian Studies

materials. Posthumously acquired by the Banco Central del Ecuador, Larrea's collection is

now housed in the Banco Central's Centro de Investigacion y Cultura in Quito. Other

bibliographic catalogs or major collections or national publications are: (1) the Indice

bibliogrdfico de la Biblioteca "Jaramillo" de Escritos Nacionales (item 137); (2) the Inaice

bibliogrdpco ae las revistas ae la Biblioteca "Jaramillo" ae Escritos Nacionales (item 138); (3)

the 1913 Catdlogo ae la bibliografia nacional: (Biblioteca ae Autores Nacionales ae Carlos A.

Rolando) (item 209); and (4) the 1947 Catdlogo decimal de la Biblioteca de Autores Nacionales,

also or the Rolando library (item 210). The Jaramillo collection is now in the Biblioteca de

la Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, Nucleo del Azuay in Cuenca, and the Rolando collection

in tne Biblioteca Municipal de Guayaquil. The integrity or the Larrea, Jaramillo, and

Rolando collections has been respected.

Miguel Angel Jaramillo's Indice bibliogrdpco de las revistas de la Biblioteca "Jaramillo" and

volume eight or Rosa Quintero Mesa's Latin American Serial Documents (item 172)

constitute the only bibliographies oi Ecuadorian serials yet compiledagain as or June2001except ror newspapers. For Ecuadorian newspapers in general, see Alejandro OjedaV.'s dated, not altogether reliable, but exceptionally replete 1941 "Estadistica de la prensa

nacional ..." (item 186) and Rolando's bibliographically much more reliable but regrettably

never completed 19471955 Cronica del periodismo ... (items 211 and 212). For newspapers

or Guayaquil, see Castillo's several studies, especially items 5860, and Camilo Destruge's

superb 1924-1925 Historia de la prensa de Guayaquil (items 79 and 80). Also or

historiographic importance are: (1) Alronso Andrade Chiriboga's 1950 Hemeroteca azuaya

(item 10); (2) Luis F. Madera's 1927 Periodicos ibarrenos (item 162); and (3) Maximo A.

Rodriguez's 1948 El periodismo lojano (item 203).

Or the various disciplines, history, law, and medicine have been the most well served. Several

substantial bibliographies exist ror history. The rirst and second editions or Larrea's

Bibliografia cientipca are especially strong on historical materials. The earliest bibliography or

works on the history or Ecuador, however, albeit only or the colonial period, was Nicolas

Espinosa Cordero's still userul 1934 Bibliografia ecuatoriana (item 89)- Until recently the

most complete bibliography or materials on the history or Ecuador was Robert E. Norris's

1978 Guia bibliogrdjica para el estudio de la historia ecuatoriana (item 184), updated to some

extent by the substantial bibliographic component (p. 57132) or Jorge Nunez Sanchez's

1995 La historiograpa ecuatoriana contempordnea (1Q701QQ4) (item 185). Norris's Guia

bibliogrdfica , but not Nunez Sanchez's bibliography, has been superseded ror the most part,

by the present author's Historical Bibliography ofEcuador (item 117). It should also be noted

that although the entries in the rirst and second editions or Larrea's Bibliograpa cientipca are

See also, however, the sections on "Serials" in the present author's Historical Bibliography of Ecuador

(item 117) ana on "Ecuador" in Gabriela Sonntag, Serial Publications Available by Exchange: South America,

descriptively incomplete, they are generally more reliable than those in Norris's descriptively

more complete Gw'a bibliogrdfica

.

The legal literature or the country has been ably served by Juan Larrea Holgin who has

periodically issued Bibliograpa juridica del Ecuador , beginning in 1970, each edition or which

has been more comprehensive than the previous (items 150152). Larrea Holgin, the son

or the late Carlos Manuel Larrea, had to resign as archbishop or Guayaquil in 2000, because

he had developed major health problems. Therefore, the third edition or his Bibliograpa

juridica (1993) may turn out to be the last as well as the latest. Larrea Holgin is professionally

trained in civil and canon law. Also significant are Miguel Diaz Cueva's magisterial 1979

survey or corporate law materials (item 83) and Graciela Egas de Venegas's 1999

bibliography or Supreme Court decisions and studies (item 86).

The history or medicine has been well cultivated in Ecuador. It is not surprising thererore

that the bibliography or medicine should also be substantial. There are at least rive major

bibliographies: (1) Carlos A. Rolando's pioneering 1953 Bibliograpa medica ecuatoriana (item

208); (2) Mauro Madero Moreira and Francisco Parra Gil's 1971 vade mecum Indice de la

bibliograpa medica ecuatoriana (item 163); (3) Rodrigo Fierro Benitez's 1995 Bibliograpa

cientffica medica ecuatoriana publicada en el exterior (item 100); (4) Fierro Benitez's 1995

Catdlogo del libro ecuatoriano de medicina (item 101); and (5) Eduardo Estrella's 1988

Principals fuentes de la bibliograpa medica ecuatoriana (item 93). Rolando was a pharmacist

turned bibliophile, whereas Madero Moreira, Parra Gil, and Estrella were physicians.

The social sciences have also been well served bibliographically, especially anthropology and

archaeology, beginning with Marshall Howard Saville's 1907 "Bibliography or the

Anthropology or Ecuador" in his The Antiquities of Manabi, Ecuador (item 229) and Paul

Rivet's 1922 "Index bibliographique de rethnographe ancienne de l'Equateur" (item 201).

The first separately conceived, written, and published bibliography of Ecuadorian ethnography

and "antiquities," however, was Max Uhle's 1926 "Bibliografia sobre etnologia y arqueologia

del Ecuador" (item 236), which he updated three years later (item 235). As of June 2001,

the most comprehensive bibliography of anthropological and archaeological materials was the

third edition of Carlos Manuel Larrea's Bibliografia cientifica (item 143), to which Olaf Holm

added periodic updates (see items 123128). Other "supplements" to Larrea include Marc

Becker's 1997 essay Indians in the Ecuadorian highlands (item 23) and Jim and Linda

Belote's web site on the Saraguros (item 24). Also important is Gertraud Itzstein and Heiko

Prumers's 1981 Einfuhrende Bibliographie 2ur Archdologie Ecuador = Bibliograpa bdsica sobrela arqueologia del Ecuador (item 132). For folklore studies see Paulo de Carvalho-Neto's

contributions (items 5052).

For an appreciation of tne bibliographic labors of Olaf Holm, see Susana Guimaraes, "Olai Holm

(1915-1996)," Journal de la Societi Jes Americanistes 83 (1997): 316-320.

Economics, geography, government and politics, and international relations, also appear to

be more or less well covered. The most comprehensive and/or "recent" hihliographies on

economic and social conditions are: (1) the 1977 edition or Lucia Alzamora's Ecuador,

aspectos socio-economicos: bibliograffa (item 8); (2) German Solano de la Sala Veintemilla's

1991 Indice defolletos sobre temas economicos y socia/es (item 233); (3) the two volume 1973

Bibliograpa social, economica y polftica del Ecuador (item 31); and (4) in its own way Bernard

Lavalle's 1995 Bibliograpa francesa sobre el Ecuador (1Q681QQ3) (item 153). Lavalle's

hihliography is doubly important, given the substantial contributions or French scholars to

Ecuadorian studies in recent decades. In this regard, see also Pierre Gondard's Repertorio

bibliogrdfico de los trabajos realizados con la participacion de ORSTOM: Ecuador 1 Qu21 Q8u(item 109).

In addition to the general bibliographies or economic and social conditions, there are several

relatively recent bibliographies or studies or artisans (items 71 and 194), small and medium

enterprises (item 75), agriculture (items 84 ,114, 129, and 174), industries (item 102), the

informal sector or "underground economy" (item 175), and rural lire and agrarian reform

(item 181). A major guide to theses in economics done at national universities was alsoforthcoming (item 130).

At least seven bibliographies and discussions or geographic studies in and or Ecuador exist,

in addition to the relevant sections in the first and second editions of Larrea's Bibliograpa

cientffica and the present author's Historical Bibliography of Ecuador. The first was Luis Telmo

Paz y Mifio's 1927 Bibliograpa geogrdfica ecuatoriana (item 190), and the most recent (again

as of June 2001) is the 1990 Gufa bibliogrdfica de geograffa ffsica del Ecuador (item 113), the

compilers of which interpreted their charge liberally. The others are items 11, 42, 67, 68,

222, and 249- Several specialized bibliographies also exist. Especially important are Robert

Gerardus Maria Hofstede's 1998 Geograpa, ecologfa y forestacion de la sierra alta ... (item

122), and those oxAreas protegidas del Ecuador (item 18) and Biodiversidad y areas protegidas

(item 39). There does not appear to be a separate bibliography of travel accounts of the

country, but this genre has been well covered by Larrea in Bibliograpa cientijica, Norris in

Gufa bibliogrdfica, and the present author in his Historical Bibliography of Ecuador.

As for politics and government, there is now a bibliography of violence in Ecuador (see item

1). One of the best bibliographies of the literature on political developments of the 1930sthrough the 1990s is the Oxford trained historian Enrique Ayala Mora's essay on historical

developments of the second two thirds of the twentieth century (item 1 9) Also useful in this

regard, especially for materials in English, is David Corhill's 1989 Ecuador (item 73). For

political party materials see James B. Johnson and Kenneth Janda's 1968 bibliography (item

139) and Flavia Freidenberg and Manuel Alcantara Saez's more recent online Gufa

bibliogrdfica (item 103).

8

Although a bibliography on the international relations or Ecuador does not appear to exist,

there are several solid bibliographies or the Ecuador-Peru boundary dispute, allsomewhatembarrassingly from the Ecuadorian point or viewauthored by Peruvians. By far the bestor these is Juan Miguel Bakula's monumental 1992 Peru y Ecuador (item 20).

As a discipline sociology does not appear to have made much headway in Ecuador. Not

surprisingly therefore there are no general bibliographies or sociological studies. Two

bibliographies or population materials exist, however, one or contemporary demographic

studies by the French scholar Daniel Delaunay (item 78), and the other or historical

demographic and related materials by the present author (item 11 6). There are also two

bibliographies or women's studieslate in developing in Ecuador the first by two nationalscholars, Rocio Rosero Jacome and Jacheline Contreras (item 219), and the second or which

is Gioconda Herrera's online Bibliografia sobre estudios de la mujer y el genero en el Ecuador

(item 121). For rural studies see especially items 161 and 237. Urban studies have also

finally come into their own, resulting in the production or several significant guides to various

aspects or this important Held (see especially items 175, 192, 202, 220, and 221). There was

even a periodical devoted to the bibliography or urban studies, Ciudad de papel (item 65).

Unfortunately, however, it seems to have succumbed within a few years of its birth (1994).

Government publications of Ecuador are inadequately known. The last general guide to

monographic documents appeared more than half a century ago, John de Noia's 1947

Ecuador (item 182). Rosa Quintero Mesa, however, provided us with a somewhat more recent

(1973) list of serial documents (item 172). Nonetheless, her work too is now considerably

dated as is also the Junta Nacional de Planificacion y Coordinacion Economical 1974

Inventario de estadfsticas demogrdficas y socioeconomicas (item 131). The Instituto Nacional

de Estadistica y Censos, however, maintains a web site at http://www.inec.gov.ee/ that features

a catalog of its currently available publications. Also useful in this regard because it includes

a checklist of government entities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and their annual

reports is Cecilia Duran's "El Archivo-Biblioteca de la Funcion Legislativa: vision general

del fondo."

It seems that INEC expects foreign governments and libraries to make up its budget deficit, judging

by its outrageous prices. The three vols, of the "Serie Descentralizacion," ror example, sell ror $480 inside or

Ecuador, hut for $810 elsewhere in Latin America, and for $1,200 in "the rest of the world." No wonderlibraries in North America and Europe bought only the rirst vol., Compenaio ae las necesiaaaes bdsicas

insatisfecnas ae la poblacion ecuatoriana: mapa ae la pobreza (Guayaquil: Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y

Censos, 1995). The other two vols, in the set, also published in 1995, are: Propuesta para descentralhar las

rentas ael Estaao (II) and Dinero aescentralixaao convertiao en bienestar (III).

WMemoria, MARKA, Instituto de Historia y Antropologia Andina, 1 (nov. 1990): 189-256.

Turning to the humanities, bibliographic coverage of art has been less than optimum. Thus

far there appears to have been only one general bibliography, Alfredo Chaves's considerably

dated 1942 Primer registro bibliogrdfico de artes pldsticas (item 64). There is a more recent

bibliography or folk or popular art, however, Juan Cordero Iniguez's 1980 Bibliograpa

ecuatoriana de artesanias y artes populares (item 71). Architecture has been slighted,

notwithstanding the recent spate or important publications on the historic as well as

contemporary architecture or the country. Volume 2 or the present author's Historical

Bibliography of Ecuador, however, includes a section on art and architecture.

Coverage or literature has been substantial. There have been three very good bibliographies

or belles-lettres, each increasingly more complete and "up-to-date" (items 200, 205, and 250,

respectively). But the two later ones (items 205 and 250) tend to complement rather than

supersede Rivera and one another. Several solid specialized bibliographies such as Michael H.

Handelsman's El modernismo en las revistas literarias (item 119) also exist.

The Summer Institute or Linguistics has published two editions or its Bibliograpa del Institute

Lingufstico de Verano en el Ecuador (items 167 and 168), but there does not appear to be a

comprehensive bibliography or Ecuadorian language and linguistic materials. Certainly, there

is nothing current. Manuel T. Orejuela's "Linguistique equatorienne" (item 188) dates from

1934, and the third edition of Carlos Manuel Larrea's Bibliograpa cientffica provides coverage

of linguistic materials only through the mid 1960s (item 143). Volume 2 of the present

author's Historical Bibliography of Ecuador (item 117), however, also includes coverage or

language and linguistic studies.

No separate bibliography of Ecuadorian music exists, at least not of this writing, and only oneof the theater (item 159)two if one counts its preview (item 158). Again some coverageof studies of Ecuadorian music is to be found in vol. 2 of the present author's Historical

Bibliography of Ecuador. Philosophy and the history of ideas have also gone begging for

Larreas, but see items 2, 61, and once more, vol. 2 of the present author's Historical

Bibliography of Ecuador (especially for history of ideas materials)

.

Regional bibliography is as uneven in coverage as regional development, but in reverse. There

are two substantial guides to published materials on the Galapagos: Carlos Manuel Larrea's

I960 El Archipielago de Colon (Galapagos) (item 140), and Rodrigo Fierro Benitez's 1997

Bibliograpa cientffica ecuatoriana sobre las Islas Galapagos (item 99). There are also several

major bibliographies of articles, books, and theses on the Oriente or the five eastern provinces

of the country, the most comprehensive of which appears to be Marco Restrepo's 1992

Amazonia ecuatoriana (item 198). But bibliographies of the other major, much more

developed and heavily populated regions (the north coast, the central-south coast, the north-

central highlands, and the southern highlands) and their component provinces are lacking

except for Azuay and Loja. There is, however, a bibliography of studies of economic

10

conditions in the Province or Manabi (item 195). Also incredible as it may seem, there are

hardly any city- or town-specific hihliographies. Again Cuenca, the capital or Azuay,

constitutes the primary exception. For Cuenca and Azuay see especially items 10, 72, 90,

98, 136, and 179, and for the city as well as the province or Loja, Emmanuel Fauroux's

impressive 1983 "Las fuentes impresas para el estudio historico, politico, economico y social

de la Provincia de Loja" (item 97).

The paucity or regional and local hihliographies might not seem to he a major prohlem, hut

it is hecause puhlications from the smaller cities and towns do not always reach the major

cities and theretore go unnoticed lor all practical purposes. Consequently, it is not always

possihle to ohtain information on regional and local titles. Julio Estupifian Tello, a well

known Afro-Ecuadorian author, ror example, published a Historia ae Esmeralaas in 1977,

and a new edition in 1983, hut the present author has heen unahle to rind a full description

or to ohtain a copy or either one. The first edition was published in Esmeraldas (the town),

and the second in Santo Domingo de los Colorados.

There is no need, however, to he concerned about the relative lack or bibliographies or

individual authors. The yet to be completed Diccionario bibliogrdpco ecuatoriano or the

Bihlioteca Ecuatoriana "Aurelio Espinosa Polit," is providing author-by-author coverage

(item 33). Furthermore, Wilson C. Vega y Vega, the principal compiler of the Diccionario

bibliogrdpco ecuatoriano, has heen issuing a number or separate bibliographies or the works or

lesser known as well as prominent authors (see items 238-242) . Interestingly enough Vega

y Vega is not only a librarian but seems to be the only Ecuadorian ever to have been able to

make a living as a bibliographer.

But bibliographies or articles, books, published sources, and theses on the personages or

Ecuador are noticeably lacking. Except ror lists or materials on a handful or "great men" such

as Eloy Alfaro (item 207) or Gabriel Garcia Moreno (item 145), they simply do not exist.

But Norris's Gufa bibliogrdpca (item 184) as well as the present author's Historical

Bibliography ofEcuador compensate ror the gaps in coverage or biographical materials to some

extent.

Yet to be verified are Edison Calvache's Bibliograpa meaica nacional (Quito: Universidad

Central del Ecuador, Facultad de Ciencias Medicas, Instituto de Investigaciones, Banco de

Inrormacion Cientifica Medica, 1989), and the Banco Central del Ecuador's apparently

short-lived Boletin bibliogrdpco. Another Boletin bibliogrdpco whose continuing existence is

doubtful, is Diablo kuma. Diablo huma (1 [1992]-) is supposed to be, or, to have been, a

semiannual devoted to bibliographic developments in the fields or folklore, popular culture,

and social lire and customs.

HQuito: Instituto Andino de Artes Populares del Convenio Andres Bello, 1992-.

The author may be doing Latin Americanists in general, as well as Ecuadorianists in

particular, a disservice by orrering such a comprenensive bibliography as it is no easy matter

to lay hands on some or the bibliographies listed below. On the problems or Ecuadorian bookand journal production and tne dimculty or procuring copies see: (1) Francisco Delgado

Santos's El libro en el Ecuador: situation, perspectivas; (2) Carl W. Deal's Academic

Publishing in Ecuador; and (3) Freire Rubio's Desde el mostrador del librero (item 94).

Many or tne bibliographies discussed above and described below are dated (considerably dated

in some instances). Comprenensive bibliograpnies are lacking for some disciplines. Yet

publications on Ecuador continue to proliferate. Tne demise or tne Cuenca branch or tne

Banco Central del Ecuador's Centro de Investigacion y Cultura's Anuario bibliogrdjico

ecuatoriano is all tne more lamentable, tnererore. Given tne volatility or politics, including

cultural, in Ecuador and tne ongoing economic crisis, it is unlikely that tne Anuario

bibliogrdfico ecuatoriano will be revived or a successor appear, at least not in tne foreseeable

future. Bibliographic control or ecuatoriana, tnererore, continues to be badly needed, more

so now than ever. Nonetheless, tne gains or tne second half or tne twentieth century were

impressive. Hopefully those or the rirst hair or the twenty-rirst century will he even more

impressive.
