This manuscript was written to be delivered into the hands of José de San Martin, as is stated in its first page. It is a geographic description of the Department of Lambayeque, Perú. It includes information on towns, population, courts, buildings, and describes the political, military, and ecelesiastieal organizations together with the eeonomie conditions of the department.
San Martin proclaimed the independence of Perú on July 28, 1821, assuming the title of "Protector". He held the protectorship and military command until September, 1822, when he resigned and relinguished power to the new Peruvian Congress. These facts suggest that this description was written during the period of the protectorship and is either an original or a copy contemporary with the years 1821-1822.
