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 on January 12, 1566.

Printing of form attributed variously to Juan Pablos or Pedro Ocharte, the former recognized as the first printer in the New World. Cf. Szewczyk & Buffington, who attribute a nearly identical Carta de poder to Pedro Ocharte; also Carpenter, who states "Valtón attributes to Juan Pablos."
