Navigation was not immune to the difficult circumstances that Spanish science experienced during the nineteenth century. Since in scientific and technological disciplines the transfer of knowledge occurs primarily through specialized publications, their study can provide significant information about the development of a specific field at a given place and time. Taking as a basis an existent bibliographical index that includes 260 nineteenth-century Spanish nautical works, the chances for the evolution of navigation shall be discussed in this paper, in the light of the vicissitudes of the nautical literature edition in Spain in the Nineteenth century.
