Description

Records from the Convento de Santa Clara in Puebla, Mexico covering 150 years (1690–1858). Created in the 1690s as a large blank book, the convent overseer envisioned many more documents than those eventually included. Only half of the nearly three hundred leaves have writing. An index with alphabetical tabs was also created in the beginning of the volume, although no entries were ever inserted.
