Manuscript. 77 unnumbered 11. folio. In the library of the American Philo- 
sophical Society, Philadelphia, described by Dr. Brinton in the American Journal 
of Science a.nd Arts, vol. 47, pp. 222-230, as follows : 
On the recto of the second leaf is the following title: 
Arte pronunciacion y ortographia de la lengua en el mismo 
ydioma | Cakchiquel. | 
On the fourth line of the verso of the same leaf: 
Jlamilette, Manual para los Yndios sobre | la Doctrina Christi- 
ana I por fray francisco Maldoualdo minorita, | Sub Censura sante 
Eomane eclesie Dialogo primo. 
This "nosegay," or anthology, consists of twelve dialogues on the confession, 
creed, sacraments, good works, &c., between a priest and his catechumen. After 
the twelfth dialogue there is an addition of nine leaves in Cakchiquel, with the 
title: [See Esta explicacion]. 
The Dialogos is a work hitherto unknown of Maldonado, one of the most 
learned of the Franciscan missionaries. He lived in the latter half of the ITth 
century. The only one of his productions given by Mr. Squier is "Sermones y 
Panegiricos en Lengua Cakchiquelche," wliich is that also chiefly referred to by 
Father Coto in his dictionary. 
2413 Ha nima Vuh vae Theologia Indorum ru binaam. * 
Manuscript. 178 11. folio. Preceded by 1 1. with these words: "Dies nima 
Akauh ti qohe auiquin at nu lokol ah tata," followed by these : "De la libreria 
de N. P. S. Fran™ de Guaf." Signed A. de la Eaya. 
Following 1. 178 are two others in Cakchiquel, but in a very different hand, 
and signed "Yn Fran™ Gonzalez." 
Although the name of Maldonado does not appear, "there is no doubt that he 
is the author, as only he and Father Domingo de Vico wrote a book of this sort 
in the Cakchiquel language. As to the latter, the manuscript bears his name, 
and it is entirely different from the iirst. — Brasseur de Bourbourg.
