Unpaginated and unfoliated, this thick volume contains the entire text in the same hand, including the author’s biography at the beginning. Beautiful, regular calligraphy from the late 18th century, with marginal notes in the same hand; on thick, period laid paper with an S P watermark (very similar to the one cataloged in *Filigranas Hispánicas* 0028064A). Traces of rust in the margins and some fine foxing. The first leaves show damage at the bottom; they have been restored, and many folios show signs of moisture. Bound in Spanish cloth, with the label, endpapers, and spine restored. CCPB 1243372-1 provides information on the copy digitized by the BNE, which is also a manuscript. Although a printed edition of the work exists from 1805, it circulated in manuscript form, as evidenced by this copy and the one held by the BNE; the author wrote it in the late 17th century.
