[Milton-L] Areopagitica into Spanish

[John Geraghty]

There was a translation by Josep Carnier you might want to track down
I believe he translated it while exiled in Mexico -an interesting story in itself:
 

Areopagítica: Un discurso por la libertad de imprenta dedicado al Parlamento de Inglaterra
By John Milton, José Carner, John Milton, Josep Carner
Translated by Josep Carner
Published by Fondo de Cultura Economica
ISBN 9681676963, 9789681676964
 
 
You might also find this paper interesting form Prof. MARÍA NIEVES SALDAÑA DÍAZ:

Dear all, 
I have been looking for Areopagitica in Spanish and I have not bee able to find it anywhere. It is a real pity because such a powerful text should be found in, at least, the most common languages in the world. Besides, I have read very carefully the text that Mr Rovira suggested, "Milton's *Areopagitica* and the Modern First Amendment," *Yale by Mr Vincent Blase and I have found a clear similarity with the Spanish constitution of 1978, where in its first article it says that "España se constituye en un Estado social y democrático de Derecho, que propugna como valores superiores de su ordenamiento jurídico la libertad, la justicia, la igualdad y el pluralismo político.", which means in short, that Spain´s most important values are freedom, justice, equality and political pluralism". Mmmm, I think my work on Areopagitica is taking unexpected directions. However, If you know where I can find a text of Areopagitica in Spanish I would appreciate it. Thank you very much.
