- Book written in Spanish. The contents are very well structured and of very high interest.
- The book is profusely illustrated with engravings outside the text. There are 10 on thick pink paper and 23 on thin white paper. Many of the engravings are of very good quality.
- The author of the book is unknown.
- There is a reference to Pablo Alonso de Avecilla as a possible author, although we believe that this possibility is remote.
- Wenceslao Ayguals de Izco is one of the brothers who published the book. He was also a writer, so there is a strong possibility that he could be its author.
