Studying the different printings and editions of La Galatea allows one to establish the work’s textual history. The present study seeks to accomplish this, following this pattern: a) the princeps of 1585; b) early printings from 1590-1618 and from the book’s editorial resurgence from 1736-1846; c) the editions from 1863 until today and the foundations of a critical edition. The following conclusions are proposed: a) the princeps is the closest text to the author’s intention, but contains errors that any editor should identify and correct, if possible; b) the editions that date from 1590-1846 include useful readings in that endeavor; c) modern editions of La Galatea have erred in general in an exaggerated fidelity to the princeps, with the exception of the one by C. Rosell in 1863, in which other printings were taken into account and the text was emended, even excessively.
