Notes: Only the engraved title page of this work, apparently a digest of the larger work Cueva Ponce de León had begun to prepare, is known.

Said title page appears to have been printed shortly after the author's Carta suplicatoria, if not in the same year. Not only do the author's credits read the same as in the Carta suplicatoria, but the last archbishop to be depicted in this engraving was Diego Morcillo Rubio de Au̜̤n (1642-1730). See the discussions under J.T. Medina, Lima, 828, and R. Vargas Ugarte, Impresos peruanos, 1301.  Also reference is made in the Carta suplicatoria (on page [73] or leaf K1) to "la Obra de la Historia de esta Santa Iglesia ..."

Only known copy.
