This article focuses on a specific edition of the Dutch liturgical form for the celebration of the Lord's Supper. This edition from 1568 contains an extension concerning the words of distribution and the thanksgiving. This modification was done by Dathenus himself. In terms of its origin, this specific edition fits well within the patterns in the genesis of the (Dutch) form for the celebration of the Lord's Supper itself. The content of the extension includes an invitation, an expansion of the words of distribution, and instruction in the thanksgiving regarding communion with Christ, the eschatological perspective, and living in gratitude. Various motives played a role in this extension, both in terms of the context of its origin and its context of use. This specific text is relevant as it provides more information about the author's working method, the influence of the London tradition, and a better understanding of later synods and editions of the psalm book.

El presente artículo, elaborado en el marco de la programación FILO:CyT (UBA), intenta iniciar una discusión sobre la fundamentación teórico metodológica de su propio objeto de estudio. Al investigar Entre lo editado y lo leído en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, se abordan una serie de temáticas para reflexionar acerca de la Historia de la Edición, la Historia del Diseño Gráfico y la Historia de la Lectura en esa casa de estudios durante el período 1896-2019. Desde este contexto, articulado por la Historia de la Cultura Escrita, se desarrollan, para poner en debate, los siguientes tópicos: la construcción de una teoría indispensable para llevar a cabo dicho proyecto, la variedad y diversidad de las fuentes documentales existentes en la facultad, y la metodología con la cual instrumentar esta problemática, entre otros aspectos. Finalmente, se señala la necesidad de buscar una configuración conceptual con el objetivo de compararla, discutirla y adaptarla a otras universidades de la Argentina interesadas en estos estudios culturales y, especialmente, resaltar la importancia de establecer, en los ámbitos académicos, modelos conceptuales similares para analizar la Historia de la Edición, del Diseño Gráfico y de la Lectura en la esfera universitaria. = This article, developed within the framework of the FILO: CyT (UBA) programming, attempts to generate discussion on the theoretical-methodological foundation of its own object of study. In researching Between what was edited and what was read in the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, a number of topics are addressed to reflect on the History of Publishing, the History of Graphic Design and the History of Reading in the same faculty during the period 1896-2019. In this context, the following topics are developed for future discussion, articulated by the History of Written Culture: the construction of an indispensable theory to carry out the project, the variety and diversity of the existing documentary sources in the faculty, and the methodology appropriate for this problem, among other aspects. Finally, it is pointed out the need to search for a conceptual configuration in order to compare it, discuss it and adapt it to other universities in Argentina interested in these cultural studies, highlighting the importance of establishing similar conceptual models to analyze the History of Publishing, Graphic Design and Reading in the university sphere, in academic settings.

Una Historia de la Lectura son muchas historias todavía pendientes, y una de esas tareas es construir una historia de la edición académica y una historia de los libros guardados en las bibliotecas de las universidades, pero ¿cómo se construye esa historia?, ¿cuáles son las estrategias de difusión del conocimiento de los investigadores de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires?, ¿qué guardan en su memoria las bibliotecas de los Institutos y cómo a partir de ellas se puede reconstruir el testimonio de una lectura (posible) en la universidad?, ¿cómo utilizar los contenidos de las bibliotecas universitarias para comprender la cultura de la edición y la lectura?, ¿qué aportan las nuevas perspectivas teóricas dedicadas a la explicación de la lectura a estas cuestiones? En este contexto, el presente proyecto, Editar y leer en la Universidad. Una historia de la edición académica de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (UBA) desde la Historia de la Lectura, tiene como objetivo principal buscar nuevas claves de interpretación a dichas demandas, entendiendo que esta es una valiosa oportunidad para iniciar el camino para repensar conceptos y categorías desde las nuevas tendencias de la Historia de la Lectura.= A History of Reading could be defined as many stories still pending. One of the tasks of the field is to build a history of the academic edition and a history of the books stored in the libraries of universities. But how is that story built? What are the knowledge dissemination strategies of the researchers of the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Universidad de Buenos Aires)? What do the libraries of the Institutes keep in their memory? How can we reconstruct the testimony of a (possible) reading in the university using the memory of those Institutions? How can the contents of university libraries be used to understand the culture of publishing and reading? What do the new theoretical perspectives on the explanation of reading contribute to these questions? In this context, the present project, Editar y leer en la Universidad. Una historia de la edición académica de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (UBA) desde la Historia de la Lectura, aims to look for new keys of interpretation to these questions, acknowledging that this is a valuable opportunity to start the path of rethinking concepts and categories, based on the new trends in Reading History.

The American Library was a collection that, in the words of Alejandro Magariños Cervantes, was intended to disseminate unpublished materials by the most notable American authors. Although this project began in Paris in 1854, the following volumes would be published in Buenos Aires and Montevideo, between 1858 and 1864. It is interesting to note that in each book, the editor included some pages that he called "Chronicle of the Library", where he presented his ideas about the general plan of this work, written correspondence, critical judgments, lists of subscribers, distribution circuits and places of commercialization. He also mentioned difficulties with printing, both due to the delays of authors delivering the works and to production issues due to lack of paper. Additional problems were the high costs and the few material gains obtained by this company. The purpose of this article is to study those chronicles in order to reconstruct the future of the catalog, comparing the authors and the works that Alejandro Magariños Cervantes announces will be published with the definitive content of the collection. At the same time, this article aims to track indications of practices and uses associated with book production in the mid-19th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the case of text editions, or critical editions of texts handed down by classical authors, philology seems to precede, and thus to have a priority over, hermeneutics. In the traditional (positivistic) view, first comes the reconstruction of texts through critical examination of the sources and the different text variants in order to establish an authentic, reliable, possibly canonical version; then follows, in a second step, the interpretation of the texts thus established. Interpretation is supposed to need something as a solid „Textgrundlage" so as to set itself into motion; it is thus seen to be parasitic upon pre-given philological work. Although this description of the way scholarly work is ususally done in the humanities may be not wholly untrue, more often than not it does not hold, for the establishing and editing of texts is itself not something performed in a space entirely exempt from, and free of, pre-understanding and interpretation. The following paper illustrates this thesis through reference to, and case studies of, the edition history of such eminent authors as Hegel, Kant, Aristotle and Heidegger. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
