Dates
- Creation: between 1633-1634
Scope and Contents
Bound manuscript of 198 leaves (the final 51 leaves mostly blank), comprising an account of the life of Gonzalo de Tapia and the Jesuit mission in Sinaloa, Mexico. In Spanish, primarily written in a humanist miniscule bookhand, by an unidentified scribe, with later marginal annotations in a different hand. With a hand-drawn portrait of Gonzalo de Tapia, with hand color. The primary text was evidently written before the 1634 death of Hernando de Villafañe,... who is mentioned as being alive, but likely after a similar manuscript held at the Bancroft Library, dated 1633 (BANC MSS M-M 7).
