English abstract
Biblical and missionary societies began to distribute Protestant Bibles and texts in Spain on a regular basis in the 1830s, through agents. One of the most important of these agents was James Graydon. He operated in Barcelona, where he published the Nou Testament in Catalan (1836) and the Biblia (1837) in Spanish. Both works were printed at the workshop of Antonio Bergnes de las Casas, in addition to other polemic and apologetic Protestant, which the colporteur distributed throughout the Mediterranean coast. Bergnes’ network of agents and the role played by press advertising were essential for the distribution of these Protestant works. They were met by a notable response from Catholics, in newspapers and in anti-Protestant texts, which deepened the debate on religious freedom and the freedom of worship.
Spanish abstract
Las sociedades bíblicas y misioneras comenzaron a distribuir Biblias y textos protestantes en España de manera regular a través de agentes en los años treinta del siglo XIX. En esta estrategia de distribución jugó un papel clave James Graydon. En Barcelona publicó el Nou Testament en catalán (1836) y la Biblia (1837) en español. Ambos fueron impresos en el taller de Antonio Bergnes de las Casas, además de otros impresos protestantes, de tono polémico y apologético, que el colportor distribuyó por toda la costa mediterránea. La red de agentes de Bergnes y el papel jugado por la publicidad en prensa fueron esenciales para la distribución de estos impresos protestantes, generando una importante respuesta católica en los diarios y en textos antiprotestantes, contribuyendo a profundizar el debate sobre la libertad religiosa y la libertad de cultos.
