Summary

This manuscript is a Spanish translation of De regimine principum, a treatise on the conduct of princes originally written by Giles of Rome, copied circa 1500. The opening rubric attributes the translation to Bernaldo, bishop of Osma (fol. 1r), but the translation, along with its glosses, is now attributed to Juan García de Castrojeriz. The work is divided into three books, which are subdivided into parts; the parts are marked with pages with full illuminated borders and each chapter has an illuminated initial.
