Notes: The author of this work has frequently been confused with Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (1503-1575), but it is clear from the statement of responsibility and the fact that the author was alive in Cuzco, Peru in 1663 (see leaf a5 recto), that the seventeenth-century Diego de Mendoza, a Franciscan priest, was not the same person as the sixteenth-century Diego Hurtado de Mendoza.

The date of publication is sometimes given as 1664, on the basis of the date given on the t.p., but the "Fee de erratas" is dated 29 Jan. 1665 (leaf a7 verso) and the aprobaciones are dated 25 Jan. and 1 Feb. 1665, respectively (leaves b4 verso and b5 verso). Regardless of whether the date of publication is given as 1664 or 1665, this work was printed only once, not originally printed in 1664 and reprinted in 1665.
