In this work we analyze shipments of books in the Honduras route, which traveled between Seville and Central America’s Atlantic ports. We analyze a sample of 52 registers from the Honduras fleet, comprising 20 percent of the total. This has allowed us to locate the book lots declared for 34 ships, a total of 130 book shipments. This group of materials reveals key features of the books’ little known arrival circuit through merchants, booksellers, and private individuals. Study of these intermediaries reveals some of the networks involved in the book trade. Study of the titles sent moreover reveals an important sample of European printed texts that arrived in the area of Guatemala and Honduras during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
