Abstract
More than 200 years after his birth, various facets of Ignacio Ramírez life are studied and analyzed. Ramírez was a well-known character in 19th century’s political history. As a Mexican writer, poet, journalist, lawyer, teacher, politician and liberal ideologue, he portrays the model of the intellectual that sprang to public life based on a robust cultural framework of books and libraries, and a strong dedication to critical reading. In this context, it is inferred that the book collections in the libraries at his disposal had a notable effect on the various stages of his academic endeavors. In other words, they shaped his work as scholar, reader and author, writer and speaker, teacher and journalist, foreseer and legal adviser, as a civil servant and reformer. Additionally, the influence of his political work in the creation of important libraries during the Reform movement and the Restored Republic period is explored.
