Anunciacion (Fr. Domingo de la) — continued. 
volume among tlie rare typographical productions of the New World. The four 
eugraviugs on wood, which we have mentioned, are very remarkable for their 
artistic execution. 
P. Domingo de la Anunciacion was born at Fuentevejuna in 1510, and came to 
Mexico in 1528; three years after he entered the convent of the order of brother 
preachers, devoted himself to the conversion of the Indians, became very learned 
in the Mexican language, and died in Mexico in 1591. 
Quetif, Eckard, and Davila give to this work the date of 1545. — Leclerc. 
Beristain also gives 1545 as the date.

words: " De consensu snperioris habet ad ejus ussnm fray Alouso.de Guzman," and

bocabulario." The 4 11. which follow give the beginning of the Arte of P. Do-

Although written by different hands and loaded with names and additions, 
this work is still the original vocabulary of Fr. Domingo de Ara, called else- 
where de Hara and de Lara, who is referred to in Remesal. When the original 
was found to be worn, it was copied by direction and probably replaced the an- 
cient copy in the library of the convent of Copanahuaztla, whence it passed, 
when tills city was abandoned, to the Dominican monastery of Ciudad Real 
(San Cristobal). It was there presented to me, with many other precious manu- 
scripts, by Paniagua, last provincial of the order, at the time of its suppression 
by Juares in 1859. — Brasseur de Bourhourg.
