Manuscript. 4". Title from Beristain. * 
806 Gran Diccionario, 6 Calepino de la Lengua Maya de Yucatan. 
Manuscript, (3 vols, folio. 
It existed, according to Dr. Nicolits Autouio, in the Libreria del DTiqnc del In- 
fantado ; part of the original is also preserved in the Convent of Yucatan. It cost 
tbe author, says CogoUudo, twenty years of labor. — Beristain. 
Celebrated for his learning, the Maya language found in Fr. Antonio de Ciudad- 
Real its greatest ornament. He dedicated himself to the study, cultivated litera- 
ture in this language, and wrote a large Maya-Spanish or Spanisb-Maya Diction- 
ary, and the Ccdcpino de la lengua Maya, in six volumes, more than a thous.aud 
two hundred folds in substance, in which labcu-ious and delicate undertaking he 
spent many years of continuous toil and study. He wrote in the same language 
a Curso praclico de oratoria sagrada de los santos i/ fellivadades de lodo el ano, an<l 
besides these works in tbe Yucatec idiom, he wrote in Spanish, while secretary 
to the fifteenth comissario-general of New Spain, a work entitled Traiado de las 
grande^as de la Nueva Espafia. 
The historian of Y'ncatan, Lopez CogoUudo, has immortalized, as it deserves, 
the nume of Fr. Antonio de Ciudad-Eeal, by simply stating his learned labors in 
the Maya language. He says of him: "He knew the language of these Indians 
[of Yucatan] so thoroughly as to be tbe greatest master of it which this country 
has ever known. As such he preached, taught, and wrote, with great elo(iuence, 
sermons for the S.aints' days and for tbe whole year. He not only made Vocabu- 
larios, one of which begins with Sp.anish and the other with tbe native language, 
but he composed a work, so remarkable for its extent, as to be designated Cale- 
pino dc la lengua Maya. It is in six volumes, of two hundred folds of writing cacli, 
and by means of it many difficulties which present themselves in the native lan- 
guage are explained. It contains all Ih.at can be desired on the subject of the 
different modes of sjieech, which are almost innumerable, and it is so copious that 
not one wo id will be found wanting. It was an occupation that cost more than 
forty years of labor, and as the idiom, though peculiar to this iirovince, is general 
in others, the work was, without doubt, one of tbe most celebrated given to the 
i world in these realms." — Carillo.
