Summary

Collection of miscellaneous works in Spanish. Some are concerned with the power of the Spanish throne (Work 1, with respect to the papacy of Clement XI; Work 2, a history of Spain and the Catholic Church; and Work 3, with respect to the British throne). Many are in verse (Work 4, a drama with Love, Friendship, and Body as characters; Work 5, a poem about the discalced Carmelites in Mexico; Work 7, a song about Jesus and the Virgin of Loreto for September 8, Mary's birthday; and Work 8, numerous short poems). One is a copy of the real cedula of Charles III, King of Spain, that established the fourth Provincial Council.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from spine; Zacour-Hirsch regularizes spelling of title, Varias curiosidades.
   
• Leaves show evidence of having been trimmed before the volume was bound; a little bit of text has been lost on some leaves. A few leaves were not trimmed perfectly and so their corners have been folded down. Stains and smudges.
