Faithfully translated from French into Spanish. From the first Sunday of Advent to the second Sunday of Lent.
- The 18th-century index has been added, although it belongs to its period, which is why its parchment binding is different from the Spanish paste binding of the main body of the collection. The indexes for the years 1807 and 1851 have also been added.
- The frontispiece of the book corresponding to Volume 2 of the Dominicas is an addition, although it is the one that belongs to its period.
- The frontispiece and title page of the book corresponding to Volume 3 of the Dominicas are an addition, although they are the ones that belong to their period.
