The article focuses, from a textual-bibliographical viewpoint, on the testimonies of the Viaje de America a Roma written by Jose de Castro and published during the second half of the 17th century.The lack of any editorial information in the testimonies required a deep analysis to establish their relationship in order to proceed to a critical edition of the text.The methodology followed in this study included three main aspects, 1) the material study of the text, 2) collecting archive data and 3) the information provided by the text itself.By joining all this information, it has been possible to identify the printer, place and year of the first edition of the text as well as the second edition.Besides that, the article provides information about the textual and bibliographical description of each edition, its bibliographical tradition and the libraries in which the remaining copies are kept. © 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
