notes:
The library depicted, now called the Biblioteca Palafoxiana, is in Puebla, Mexico, and was founded as part of a seminary by Juan de Palafox y Mendoza in 1648. Palafox donated his own book collection to the library, and in the eighteenth century (probably around 1773) Bishop Francisco Fabián y Fuero donated his personal library, the bookcases, and altarpiece that are still in situ. This is the only library from the Colonial period surviving in the Americas.
