Hello,

Some information about the facsimil edition which was printed in Spain:

Fray Alonso de Molina, Vocabulario en lengua castellana y mexicana, Estudio
de Esther Hernandez, Ediciones de Cultura Hispanica, Agencia Espanyola de
Cooperacion Internacional, Madrid, 2001.
ISBN (Obra completa) 84-7232-869-4; (Facsimil) 84-7232-870-8; (Estudio)
84-7232-871-6

It is the facsimil edition of 1571 (as well as that of Porrua), and was
taken from the copy that is in the Biblioteca Nacional de Espanya. The last
page of the facsimil says: "Edicion facsimilar de 1.000 ejemplares
numerados".

This may be the edition that was in Madero bookstore, although it costed me
less when I bought it few years ago in a Spanish bookstore (but I don't
remember exactly the price).
