Fernandez (Benito) — continued. 
Attrution is directed to the fact tbat at the same time two editions were made 
of llic Doctriua of Fr. Benito Fernandez, the printinjj of one (see the i)recediD{5 
nimibei-) was completed ou the 2'2d of Noveml)er, 15G7, and the other on the 24th 
of January, 1568. Taking the time into account there is no doubt that the print- 
ing of this lastaloue lasted two months, and consequently It began to be jirinted 
before the completion of the other. But the whole is explained by this single 
observation : that his two works were written in different dialects of the Mexi- 
can language. It is enough to compare the two volumes to prove it. According 
to Sr. Pimentel, the edition of 1567 is in the dialects of Tlachiaco and Chintla, 
and that of 1568, in that of Tepuzculula, which is the principal language. 
Father Hernandez (or Fernandez), being so well versed in the languages of those 
provinces and wishing, without doubt, to be useful to the missionaries, labored 
at the two Doctriiias iu two of these principal dialects, and published them 
at about the same time. In the library of the Sociedad de Geografia y Estadis- 
tica there is a manuscript of 2'20 11., 4°, which begins thus: " Aqui comienzan 
algunos modos de bien hablar en lengua Cinchona (another dialect of the Mix- 
teco) de Cuextlahuaca." And near the end : "Index sen t.abula o!m contentor 
iu hac salubri doctriua f. Benedict! ferdinandii bona) mem" viri apl'ici." 
There is also another manuscript In 4°, much mulitated, which contains, ac- 
cording to Sr. Pimentel, doctrine and orations and christian morals, in the 
Tepuzculula language. In one of the leaves there is a note in Slixtcco, in which 
wo can only read the name of " Fray Benito." Probably this manuscrij)t is his 
also. — Icashalceia s Apuiiles, No. 107.
