Printed form for a power of attorney, in gothic type, completed and filled out in a notorial manuscript hand, notarized and signed at Puebla, by Juan de Bedoya in December of 1581.

Printing of form attributed variously to Pedro Balli or Pedro Ocharte, both among the earliest printers in the New World. Cf. Szewczyk & Buffington, who attribute a nearly identical Carta de poder to Pedro Balli; also Carpenter, who states "Valtón attributes to Pedro Ocharte."
