According to Rare Book Hub, no complete set has ever appeared at auction (!)Among Latin American diplomats in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century, a debate arose about the history and future destiny of the nations of Spanish and Portuguese America, which prefigures the first modern international studies of Latin America. The Argentine Carlos Calvo (1822-1906) played an important role by compiling treaties and historical documents from the wars of independence in Latin American countries. Over time, Calvo became one of the most outstanding and widely-read internationalists in Europe, above all thanks to his heroic historical enterprises, which were widely circulated and influential for specialists on an international scale. Calvo and his assistants used mainly compilations of documents, monographs and primary sources that they located in the British Museum, the "Imperial Library" in Paris, and the General Archive of the Indies in Seville. Calvo was an able director of the compilation, combining the texts and treaties of both Spain and Portugal -- a novelty at that time which incorporated Brazil and Portugal into the Spanish-language literature on international relations. Collecting documents of the colonial era was only Calvo's first objective; a more ambitious goal was realized in the companion compilation of "Historical Annals of the Latin American Revolution."
