Accounts in Spanish. 5 folios. Dating: the year 1426 CE is mentioned. Likely related to the payment of taxes, because it uses the official account system (cuenta castellana) and lists amounts in different kind of cereals (the usual payment in both civil and ecclesiastic taxes). Deals with cargas (loads) of trigo (wheat), cebada (barley) and centeno (rye). Domingo may be a seller or buyer. The word rrey (king) appears at least a couple times.
