| Sumario: | The purpose of this article is to identify the material author of the document called Modo Breve, dated in 1653. Heretofore its writing has been attributed to its intellectual author Rafael Mikoleta. However, the recent examination of a manuscript by the Englishman Mr. Samuel Sainthill has led to increasing doubts about its material authorship. To the end of establishing the material authorship of the text, a comparative study is performed through the graphonomic method used in graphoscopy, meaning that the shape of the letters, the gen- eral features of the writing, and the type-gestures have received a close step-by-step scrutiny. As a main conclusion, it can be asserted that the features of the manuscript of 1653 are similar to those of Sainthill’s writing, and not to those of Mikoleta. Further ways are proposed to continue investigating these findings.; Artikulu honetan, 1653. urteko Modo Breve izeneko dokumentua nork eskuizkribatu zuen argitu nahi da. Orain arte Rafael Mikoletaren eskuz eginikoa dela pentsatu izan da. Berriki, ordea, Samuel Sainthill Ingalaterrako jaunaren eskuizkribu bat eskuratu ahal izan dugu, eta zalantza areagotu Modo Breve bera noren eskutik egina den. Auzia argitzeko, azterketa konparatu bat egiten da, grafoskopian erabiltzen den metodo grafonomikoaren bidez; hau da, letren forma, idatziaren ezaugarri orokorrak eta keinu-tipoak aztertu dira. Ondorio nagusi bezala, baiezta daiteke 1653. urteko eskuizkribuaren ezaugarriak Sainthillen idatziaren antzekoak direla, eta ez Mikoletarenaren antzekoak. Azkenik, baieztapen hau ikertzen jarraitzeko bideak proposatzen dira.
