The 16th century book, a post-incunabula, is a manual for understanding the sacraments written by Canon Pedro Fernández de Villegas around 1510.

A team from the Ministry of Culture and Sports and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), dependent of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, has found a book from the 16th century that is unique in the world in the collections of the Tomás Navarro Tomás Library, of the Center for Human and Social Sciences of the CSIC. It is a manual written to better understand the sacraments written by Canon Pedro Fernández de Villegas, from Burgos, around 1510. It is a post-incunabula, a book that has the characteristics of an incunabula, although it was not printed in the fifteenth century.
