3448 Vocabulary in Spanish, Latin, and Mexican. * 
Manuscript. 155 11. 4°. In a very small but clear handwriting of the 16th 
century, in double columns, the Mexican part being written in red ink. This is 
supposed to be either the original, or at least a copy, of the vocabulary composed 
by Father Sahagun. — Baiiiirez Sale Cat, No. 545. 
"The fourth work of this learned franciscan was a trilingUe vocabulary, of 
■which Torquemada says, in his Monarquia Indiana: 
" ' Escribio tambien otro vooabulario que ll.am(5 Trilingiie, en lengua mexicana, 
castellana y latina, de grandisima erudicion, en este exercicio de la, lengua cas- 
tellana.' 
" Betancourt, in his Menologio, says that he saw this manuscript. It was after- 
wards thought to have been lost, and there are not lacking persons who deny 
its existence; yet it came into the possession of Sr. Chavero, and from his hands 
has passed into those of Sr. Castillo. The work in question is a thick volume 
in 4°, small Spanish, and on Genoese paper, written in beautiful characters, 
which has been attributed to Martin Jacohita, a pupil of Sahagun. Saha- 
gtin's handwriting appears on only one of the pages of the book. The dictionary 
is arranged in two columns; on each line the first word is Spanish, then follows 
the Latin translation, and above the lines, in red ink, is the Mexican pronuncia- 
tion, though lacking in some places." — Llanos. 
3449 Manuscript in tlie Mexican language. * 
Ten loose leaves from ditferent Mexican manuscripts of the 16tb century (some 
with beautiful, illuminated initials); four leaves signed Don Martin Enriquez, 
and dated Mexico, 16th of February, 1578, on the last leaf. 4°. 
These leaves seem to be the remnants of an unknown work of the indefatigable 
Fr. B. de Sahagun, as the last contains the permission of the Viceroy given to 
him to print "el dicho Manuel del Christiano." Whether it was ever printed 
we are unable to state, .as the present is the only reference to the work mentioned 
which we know of. — Ramirez Sale Cat., No. 544.

small quarto, in the handwriting of Sahagiiu, although without the name of the

lios y Epistolas de las dominicas." It contains 74 11., and 1 1. index in a differ- 
ent handwriting and of a later cj)och. It formed part of the rich library of Sr.
