Ms. copy, written in an unidentified hand, probably at Totonicapán, Guatemala. The original manuscript was written by Juan de Torres, head of sub-lineage of the Tam, dated Oct. 12, 1580. Concerns the history of the Tam lineage of the Quiche from the first ancestors to the 15th century, and lists the genealogy relevant to land claims and the boundaries of those claims. This is one of the four fullest lineage histories surviving from the 16th century Quiche, and although a late copy, it is the earliest known text.
