A manuscript legal charter from 1600, a confirmation of hidalgo nobility, written in Spanish by Sebastián Vizcaíno and Francisco Martínez Orejón, likely for the families named in its proceedings. The pages are dense handwritten Spanish text set in ruled frames with red-and-black decorative borders, marginal flourishes, and simple paraph marks, offering a designer examples of early modern script layout, border framing, and hand-lettered initial capitals.
