The manuscript covers the period 1530-1630s, with contemporary notarial copies and some marginalia by a later (18th century?) hand. There are a couple of signatures by a Spanish bishop, some paper seals, and printed forms. The volume also includes some interesting data on the sources and amounts of revenue supporting the chaplaincy. Attached is a small printed book in Latin consisting of commentaries on Aristotle.
