Diseño de la base de datos de sermones impresos durante el siglo XVII en la Nueva España

The organization and design of the database of sermons printed during the 17th century in New Spain is described in detail in this article. The database has thirteen tables with various fields that contain a great deal of information (authors, printing workshops, publication year, publication city, works that contain those sermons, other works by the same author, sponsors who financed the publication of the sermons, etcetera) regarding all of the sermons printed in that century that were found in main collections with historical archives. This data can be a starting point for future research concerning the theme of sacred oratory in New Spain.
