 Between then and 1714 (that is to say, before the second edition) it was cited, even copiously on occasion, by at least eleven authors in works published for the most part in Mexico, but also in Madrid and Guatemala.The fate of the first edition, and details of the two subsequent facsimile reprints, are stated here as given in the essay ""Ediciones"" by Jorge Gurría Lacroix in volume 7 of the IIH critical edition.As Nicolás Rodríguez Franco, the printer of the second edition, informed his readers in his "Proemio", few exemplars of the first edition survive because the greater part of the print-run was lost in a shipwreck, and only three copies were known to him.
