Abstract
The idea of making a tribute book – for the Germans a Feschrift or liber amicorum; If the honoree has already died, there is talk of a Gedenkschrift, that is, a publication in someone's memory - seems to date back to 1640 when in Teutonic lands, more specifically in Leipzig, the first two hundred years of the invention of the printing press were commemorated. The most relevant poets of the time came together to create a book to commemorate the anniversary (https://www.deutschestextarchiv.de/book/show/oa_jubilaeum_1640); Soon this model became widespread until it became an institution that prevails in the modern academic world and with which it seeks to pay occasional tribute to those who, from the professorship or other similar activities, have spent an entire life until reaching their retirement, a birthday or a special anniversary, for which academics close to the person being celebrated, colleagues and, above all, his disciples attend, with original writings in which they make their contributions in the respective areas of knowledge that, normally, are those that have occupied the person's life.
