Sr. Adolfo Llanos gives, in the Museo Nacional <le Mexico, Anales, vol. 3, pt. 3, 
an account of: Sahagun y su Historia de Mexico, from which the above title is 
taken. He says: The Academia EspaSola de la Historia intends to publish a 
manuscript of P. Sahagun, preserved in its library, written in the Mexican lan- 
guage, with a translation in Spanish, titled as above. 
Bernardino Ribeira was born in the early part of the 16th century, iu the 
town of Sahagun, in the kingdom of Leon. Whilst yet a child he commenced 
his studies in the University of Salamanca, and in the flower of youth he as- 
sumed the Franciscan habit in the Salamantine Convent, and soon embarked 
for New Spain, where he arrived in the year 1529. The principal object of the 
priests of this Order was to teach and convert the Indians, and to accomplish 
this it was necessary to learn the language of the natives, a task which Saha- 
gun accepted with singular determination and beneficial results, for of him it 
was said by another illustrious friar, Mendieta, in the Historia Eclesiastica 
Indiana, that none other had ever equaled or approached him in discovering the 
secrets of the Mexican language or in writing so much in it. 
Sahagun dedicated himself to the instruction of the Indians, entering in the 
College of Santa Cruz, in Santiago Tlatelolco, and purposely refused positions and 
preferments in his Order, so as to dedicate himself exclusively to study. From a 
teacher he became translator, and from translator historian, in which last phase of 
his life he reached immortality. He died the .5th of February, 1^90.— Llanos.
