Cordoba {Fr. Juan) — continued. 
Concerning this work, Sr. Icazbalceta writes me as follows : 
I have not seen this hook, nor do I know whether any copy exists. Of the 
authors who mention it, Beristain is the only one who gives the date of the 
edition and the name of the printer, Pedro Ocharte, 1571, in 4°. It appears that 
Beristain saw it; but, notwithstanding this, I believe the date to be an error, and 
that it should be 1578. 
Father Burgoa (Geogr. Descrip., fol. 255) declares that Father Cordoba fin- 
ished the Vocabulario after he was relieved of the office of Provincial. This is 
proved to have been on the 7th of October, 1570, and between this event and his 
retii'ement to the Convent of Hamechahnya, where he finished the work, there 
would not have been time for all that Father C6rdoba accomplished, much less 
for the printing of the work. 
In the liceuse given by the bishop of Oajaca for the printing of the Arte, dated 
June 8th, 1578, it says of the Vocabulario, "That it is now printed in the said 
language." The license also speaks of a Confesonario breve which does not ajipear.
