Includes the exceptionally rare fold out, three dimensional plan of the restored and amplified Church and Convent of St. Francis (the first plate in the John Carter Brown Library copy). Lacking in the copies seen by Medina and Vargas Ugarte, the copy held by Yale, and apparently also in the copy held by the Lilly Library. Reproduced from a copper plate, engraved by Juan de Benavides. The only known illustration from the colonial period of the entire compound. Of the three other plates, that of the Church proper was done by Pedro Nolasco. The other two appear to be anonymous

Includes: Visita, y declaracion que hizo el P. Pred. Fr. Juan de Benauides, ministro legal, y honesta persona del santo Tribunal de la Inquisicion, y sacristan mayor del Conuento grande de N.P. S. Francisco de la ciudad de Lima, en la residencia del Rmo. P. Fr. Luis Zervela, padre perpetuo de la S. Prouincia de Santiago, y de todas las del Peru, del tiempo que fue comissario general de ellas (leaves [1-16] [4th count])
