This paper studies quantitatively the uses of letters h, i, y, x, g, j, depending on their position in the word and taking into account the coincidences and divergences in the four editions mentioned in the title. The thousands of data extracted, now made available to the reader, will allow drawing several conclusions relating the state of Castilian spelling at that time.
