In this paper, we study the editorial project of the Colección de varias historias, by Manuel Martín and Hilario Santos. Therefore, we contextualize the inception of this project in the new censorship regulation imposed by Juan Curiel. Then, we analyze how this rules determined the rewriting process of the epic tales of Rodrigo Díaz “el Cid” and the seven princes of Lara, to adapt them to the Colección with a double purpose: to preserve the traditional sale of this kind of printed chivalry tales and to fit them to the moral precepts of ecclesiastic censorship.
