A fragmentary account of the Spanish Conquest, probably drawn from the point of view of the Kavek lineage (perhaps of the Qoyoy sub-lineage). In language it is closer to the Popol Vuh. The manuscript includes drawings of the post-conquest second and third palaces of the Quiché kings. There are lists of the several Quiché towns and of the caciques of these towns in the late 16th century. Also mentioned are the Mam-speaking groups of the Quetzaltenango area conquered by the Quiché and an account of the conquest by Pedro de Alvarado, with reference to Capitan decum ahau.
