Genesis and foundation of El Taller de Sevilla in 1880 as the first Spanish Masonic magazine during the RestorationAbstract

It is divided into three parts: 1) the precedents that include brief notions on the definition of the Masonic press with its characters and objectives; 2) the origin of this magazine in the context of the Spanish rebellion against the articles of the new constitution of the Grande Oriente Lusitano Unido of 1878; and 3) the conclusions followed by the newspaper sources and a bibliography.
