A Calendar Of Rizaliana

Ambeth R. Ocampo is a public historian whose research covers the late 19th century Philippines: its art, culture, and the birth of the nation. He writes a widely read editorial page column for the Philippines Daily Inquirer. Completing the process of research and authentication that led to the publication of the unknown Spanish drafts of Rizal's third novel Makamisa, Ambeth Ocampo organized his field notes into an inventory of the precious and inaccessible Rizal manuscripts and materials in the vault of the Philippine National Library. Arranged chronologically to become a bibliographical calendar, this book is not a mere listing, but includes descriptive details, annotations, abstracts in English of most manuscripts, and transcripts of Rizaliana not previously known
