It is a book to teach writing in wich there are from pedagogic rules to different types of letters, going by formulas to make inks or ways to cut quills. The success of the book resides in the fact that codification of a standard legible hand was indispensable to the functioning of an imperial bureaucracy that raising imperial Spain needed.
