208 paper folios, 307 x 215. First original folio now missing. Two systems of old foliation, one added after index was made up and additions to and deletions from original corpus had been made. Original covers of leather on cardboard; modern protective slipcase. Original index (some listed pieces no longer in manuscript; some pieces now in manuscript not listed in index; present folio numbers for many pieces not same as those in index). Copied by one main scribe and two or three additional scribes.
Second half of 16th century. Copied in Spain. Possibly of monastic origin (RandS); partially illegible inscription suggests ownership by a monastery at Jerez. Later owned by Luis Jesús Fernández de Cordoba y Salabert, 17th Duke of Medinaceli (1880-1956); may have belonged to Medinaceli family from an early period. Acquired (in 1960's?) by the lawyer and financier Bartolomé March Servera of Madrid.
