The Chilean documentation of the colonial period has been treated by the diverse specialists, mainly starting from official (ordinances,royal decrees, etc.) or literary (chronicles, stories, relationship letters, autobiographies, to mention some) texts, but they have left aside, in a systematic way, those manuscripts that involve dailiness and the immediacy in writing. From the textual criticism point of view, it seems commendable the hypothesis that this situation is correlated with the difficulties that arise at the moment of reading from the original. In this communication we will approach the main obstacles for paleographic work on the Chilean colonial texts, the diverse editions that have been made on this documentary base, the projects that are related with this textual corpus and the methodological perspectives that could contribute to the construction of a solid base to improve and to standardize the editions that are made on a unique handwritten corpus.
