Manuscript, 33 11. 4°. 
This document comes from the ancient archives of the bishopric of Coban, in 
Verapaz. When I arrived at Rabinal it was in the possession of Ignacio Colochc, 
then secretary of the native municipality, and who presented me with it, together 
with many other documents of tUe same kind. He also assured me that it was 
attributed traditionally to the Venerable Luis Cancer, one of the first apostles of 
Verapaz. Fray Luis Cancer, born at Balbastro, in Arragon, vras the companion 
of Las Casas and Augulo, and it is known with what holy ardor he defended the 
liberty of the natives, in the reunion of the bishops and theologians held at 
Mexico in 1546. He, with Las Casas, composed the first Christian hymns, which 
were destined to gain the natives of Verapaz, among whom they were introduced 
by some merchants, to the new faith. These hymns were written first in the 
Quiche idiom of Zacapulas, then iu the Cacchi of Coban, etc. Having reluriied 
to Sixain in the interest of tlie Indians, he was sent from there to Florida, wheio 
he was i^ut to death by the savages, iu 1549. 
Th's manuscript is the only one of tlie sort at present extant. The airs to 
which the canticles were sung are found noted. — Brassvur dc Bourhourg.
