3 volumes. xii+427 pages with frontispiece portrait, 3 plates (one folding) and folding map; xiv+454 pages with two folding plate and two folding maps; xii+409+[errata] with 4 folding tables and 1 folding plate. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5") bound in original half leather with brown label in gilt lettering over marbled boards. (Howes C884. Sabin 17501. Field 388. Monaghan 503.) First edition.This work by the author had been written in his declining years. In a biography of his great-grandfather the author alleges in his introduction that the Voyage is a manuscript found in a shipwreck-and even whole chapters of which are either lost or water-soaked beyond legibility, and that he is the translator of this work. Written with greater care than his Letters, the work, except for several fanciful chapters, offers very real interest and authenticity. The numerous notes in the three volumes have appreciable interest. In the Voyage he is still writing of an agrarian Utopia. Pastoral descriptions abound-farmlands,…

Madrid, Imprenta de Juan Zuñiga, 1746.
En 4o pequeño. 22p, incluyendo frontispicio grabado y retrato a plena página del autor, [ambos grabados por Mathias de Irala]. 168p; 3h; 96p. A manera de apéndice, la última parte contiene el "Catálogo del Museo Histórico Indiano del Caballero Lorenzo Boturini Benaduci". Reencuadernado en pergamino de época.
Boturini llegó a la Nueva España en 1736 y emprendió la búsqueda de documentos històricos que probasen las apariciones de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Con ellos planeaba escribir una gran historia del culto guadalupano, que tras varios intentos quedó inconclusa.
Realizó entre 1736 y 1742 diversos viajes al interior del virreinato, adquiriendo de otros coleccionistas y acervos, así como entre los indígenas en los pueblos, documentos de toda clase, de los antiguos habitantes de Mesoamérica, en su mayoría en copias, pero también algunos originales e impresos, en castellano, náhuatl y otras lenguas indígenas. Con el tiempo su "Museo Histórico", como llamó a su colección documental, llegó a tener alrededor de 300 piezas, según el conteo que puede establecerse a partir de los inventarios realizados desde 1743, y hasta el que él mismo publicó en 1746 (Como parte de el presente libro). Boturini comenzó así a esbozar el novedoso proyecto de una historia del México antiguo basada fundamentalmente en fuentes de procedencia indígena.
Fue a su regreso a España, que implicó 10 meses de prisión por viajar ilegalmente a Nueva España, que se dio tiempo para publicar su obra, que describe su prospecto de la historia del México antiguo que se proponía escribir usando las fuentes indígenas originales existentes en su Museo Histórico, cuyo catálogo incluyó al final del libro para sustentar su proyecto.
