Se ha conservado un importante conjunto de documentos relativos a la fundación de los marqueses de Villena que dio origen al segundo Monasterio de la Visitación, de los que se conocían algunos extractos que incluían errores. Su contenido tiene interés desde el punto de vista sociológico, puesto que revela ideas sorprendentes en la consideración por las autoridades respecto a la enseñanza seglar o religiosa en un momento en que se habían asentado ya en las altas esferas las ideas ilustradas. Aportamos además numerosas noticias respecto a las obras artísticas del momento de la fundación y, sobre todo, fijamos con exactitud autores, fechas y contenido.
