Description:
- Royal Decree of His Majesty and Lords of the Council, by which the Royal Resolutions are renewed regarding the approval of Architects and Masters of works, what must indispensably precede their 'execution', the appointment of Architects and their qualities, and the rest that is expressed.
- Written, as noted above, in the old Castilian of the time, hence the two misspelled words.
- The Royal Decree is an eminently dispositive document, which became the normal vehicle for relations between the king and the Indian authorities; it generally contains a precept of governance.
