Summary

Collection of works from late 16th- to early 17th-century Spain by various authors. The major work is a biography of Bartolomé Carranza, Archbishop of Toledo, centering on his seventeen-year imprisonment by the Spanish Inquisition. The manuscript also includes copies of two letters written by Philip IV, King of Spain, to his favorite, Gaspar de Guzmán, conde-duque de Olivares; a letter from Francisco Sandoval y Rojas, duque de Lerma, to Philip IV upon the latter's ascension to the throne; a discourse on the nature of life and death by a certain Padre Maestro Guerra; a biography of Rodrigo Calderón, Marquis de las Siete Iglesias and a Spanish royal favorite; a report on an unnamed resolution of the Pope and the opinion of a religious council convened by the king; Francisco de Melgar's censure of a paper written by Francisco Morovelli de Puebla defending the patronage of Saint Teresa of Avila and responding to Francisco de Quevedo; and several small satirical works by Francisco de Quevedo. Of particular interest are the references Philip IV makes to his illegitimate son, Alonso, born in 1642 (f.122v).
