Among the Spanish texts devoted to the history of Troy, the "Crónica Troyana" printed by Juan de Burgos is the piece which has enjoyed the longest popularity throughout history. Between the first version, published in Burgos in 1490, and the last one, which appeared in Medina del Campo in 1587, more than a dozen editions were printed.
The purpose of this article is to study the first pages of these editions, paying particular attention to the engravings. These graphic materials, together with the information accompanying them, show the evolution of the book from the first years of the printing press to the end of the sixteeenth century and the connections of the Crónica to different literary genres and contemporary texts.
