A sixteenth-century manuscript inscribed in tablature, found among Isabel de Valois' personal documents, it offers a unique glimpse into the musical preferences of the era. Suitable for performance on the vihuela or a keyboard instrument, it features the following titles: Ribera berde umbrosa, Guárdame las vacas, Contrapunto sobre el Conde Claros, Pabanilla, Por unos ojuelos negros, Falsa m'es la'spiga, and La moreta. Presented as a sizable double folio, it comprises three inscribed pages plus one blank, and is cataloged as Folio 130 within batch 394 titled Royal Houses and Properties.
Its cover, with various annotations dating from the nineteenth century, includes another single folio quite different from the rest. The paper, contents, and notation are not at all uniform, indicating not only that the pieces were transcribed by more than one amanuensis but also that they were intended for more than one recipient.
