Stolen Cortés manuscript from 1527 returned to Mexico by FBI
The Guardian
|August 15, 2025
Nearly five centuries after the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés signed it and decades after someone swiped it from the national archives, a priceless manuscript page has been returned by the FBI to Mexico.
The document contains a detailed account of the logistics related to Cortés's journey to what eventually became New Spain – a territory that stretched from Central America to modern-day Washington state.
"This is an original manuscript page that was actually signed by Hernán Cortés," said special agent Jessica Dittmer of the FBI's art crime team in New York.
