This work focuses on a work dedicated to Catalina of Austria and oriented to the education of the infant María (future wife of Philip II of Spain): the Libro primero del Espejo de la princesa cristiana by Francisco de Monzón (c. 1500 - 1575), professor at the University of Coimbra and chaplain to King John III of Portugal. This text has not received enough attention so far; we are working in its edition at the moment. A codicological description of the valuable manuscript that has preserved the work until today is made, proposing its dating. Besides, the external structure of the work is analyzed.
