It is a small quarto of 160 leaves with woodcut diagrams, an artillery sphere, table of declination and it is divided into four books, of which Book IV, the last 72 leaves, deals with naval architecture and rigging and ends with a Vocabulario de los nombres que usa la gente de la mer.

The author of this important work was a native of Santander and studied first for the navy and later for the Law. His writings whilst Judge of Guatemala fo rmed the foundation for the works of Antonio de Herrera. In 1581 he graduated as Doctor of the University of Mexico, and later helped to organize an expedition against Drake. He was the author of several works on navigation, of which this is the most important.
