A schedule of rates set by the Roman Curia for a wide range of services provided by the Catholic Church in Spain, accompanied by text explaining when said services are allowed. The manuscript is divided into three parts. The first part (f. 1r-19v) outlines the cases in which marriage is not permitted, circumstances that may warrant an exception to these cases, and a schedule of rates for such dispensations. The second part (f. 20r-36v) is concerned with the protocol to be followed in the valuation, administration, transfer, and other actions applied to ecclesiastical benefices. The third part (f. 37r-49r) covers church policy on many topics including absolutions, commutations, and indulgences.
