This is a 1,200-page autograph manuscript with 400 full-page illustrations. Since its rediscovery in 1908, the manuscript became widely known as the only extant document that manifests a purely indigenous (Andean) point of view on Andean life and Inca domination before the Conquest, on Andean life and the Inca domination before the Conquest, on the Spanish Conquest of 1532, the Spanish colonial government, and the systematic abuse of the rights of the indigenous population by the political, legal and ecclesiastical authorities of the Colony. The document is a letter to King Felipe III, suggesting that the government of Peru be returned to the indigenous population if the formerly rich country is not to be totally destroyed by rural depopulation and urban proletarization. The manuscript is unique and irreplaceable not only in the Peruvian or Latin American context but as the eloquent and conscious voice of people of all ages, races and creeds who have suffered oppression and abuse. The manuscript has remained in Denmark since 1660.

This nomination was inscribed on the Memory of the World International Register in 2007 and on the Regional Register for Latin America and the Caribbean in 2011.
