About This Book

The volume compiles descriptive entries for Spanish-language manuscripts held in a national collection, arranged by subject classes— theology, belles-lettres and science, history and politics, geography and voyages, and colonial materials—plus an appendix. Each entry summarizes contents, physical details, folio extents, and notable documents such as ecclesiastical papers, private correspondence, travel accounts, and administrative records. The work includes tables cross-referencing items across collections, textual corrections, and editorial notes identifying variant readings or suggested emendations. Organized systematically for scholars, it serves as an inventory and guide to locate and understand the scope and nature of the manuscripts described.
