Spanish genealogical collections, 15th-17th century
Marked as "tom. 7".
Written by various hands.
A rough table of contents at the beginning of the volume gives the names of most of the families noticed.
Following on the first three papers (fols. 1-15), comes a series of descents or genealogical accounts of some sixty families, all of which are severally entered in the index to this Catalogue; besides short notices (in often but a few lines), between fols. 124–160, of ninety other families. Next follow some fuller family histories, fols. 340-572.
At the end of the volume are these three papers, of which the last is a late addition to the original contents:—
- (fol. 585) 1. "Exhortacion a los lectores fecha por el r[everen]do padre fray Hernando Manso, mongo de la orden de San Benito"; it is not stated to what book this preface was prefixed.
- (fol. 591) 2. "Testamento de la catholica reyna donna Isabel ... muger del catholico rey don Fernando".
- (fol. 593) 3. Legal plea, signed "M. Betanios," "por Antonio de Rosas, hijo de Christoval Perez [contra] Hernando Yanez, conjunta persona de Ysabel Alvarez, sobre el patronazgo y cappellania que instituyo Guiomar de Fonseca".
