This paper is the result of a research study which aims to understand how the work of Antonio de Vieira was received in the Hispanic world and the changes it went through along the Seventeenth to Eighteenth centuries, based on censorships and dedications in publications of the term. The approach to Spanish editions of the Portuguese Jesuit's work made possible to understand how it was received in the intellectual context of that time, and to comprehend the changes esthetics had along the Spanish baroque and Enlightenment, which can be observed in the same censored works.
