Manuscript is on fine quality watermarked paper.
It is a beautiful document which consists of seven full lines plus part of an eighth and written in an archaic, calligraphic Spanish script. The paper has a clean, fresh appearance and the writing is bold and clear. A lightly torn piece of the lower right corner has been so expertly re-attached that it is virtually invisible. Cortes signs just beneath the text with a bold signature and flourish. Dated on 20th of February of 1527 years.
