Abstract
The study of the trade of books and other products of the print during the Modern Age is very difficult in peripheral countries like Galicia; the lack of historical documentation is the greatest problem. In this article, that problem is analyzed and other formulas set out to cover that deficiency of the information. The article raises, in addition, some methodological questions about the diffusion of the learned culture in rural, illiterate, bilingual and bad communicated territories.
