It's a transcription, not a facsimile, so there's always the possibility of error.  The
catalog entry says "Edición digital basada en la de Rio de Janeiro, Fundação
Biblioteca Nacional".  I would take that to mean that it was transcribed from a
manuscript in the Brazilian national library.

Yes and no.  But when the digital edition is based on a modern print edition rather
than the original, they note it in the catalog record.
