Es mejor copiar a Ramusio que glosar sus palabras: «El viaje relaizado por los españoles alrededor del mundo es una de las cosas más grandes y maravillosas que se han oído en nuestros tiempos; y aunque superamos en muchas cosas a los antiguos ésta superaría en gran medida, todas las que hasta este tiempo han sido halladas». Para esta edición se ha utilizado el texto de la *Relación*, preparado por Camillo Manfroni, traducido del italiano por F. Ros y con estudio introductorio y notas aclaratorias del prof. Bartolomé Escandell Bonet, *Bibliotheca Indiana*, Tomo I, Editorial Aguilar, 1957.

El volumen cuenta con notas e introducción de su editor, el historiador español Leoncio Cabrero.
