They have been bound in apparently random order: portrait of Díaz Morante; calligraphic t.p. to each of 4 pts. (dated 1615, 1623, 1627, and 1630 respectively); 97 writing samples. Several plates are present in a later state, i.e. with names of the engravers Boon and Villafañe effaced.

Title from fol. [3].

Leaves [2], [73], and [102] (dated 1636, 1639, and 1634 respectively) engr. by Díaz Morante's son of the same name.
