Manuscrijit. 11.1-611. 16^^. In the Bancroft Library, San Francisco ; bought 
at the Ramirez sale, London. It is entered in the catalogue of that sale under 
No. 543, and in Icazbalceta's Apuntes, No. 163. 
No author's name; beautifully written, in several different handwritings of 
the 16th century — so neat and uniform as to resemble type. There are two, some- 
times three, sermons for each Sunday in the year, beginning with the first Sun- 
day in Advent. The titles and the frequent citations from Scriptures are in 
Latin, and these, as well as the many Spauish and Latin words introduced, are in 
red ink. At the commencement of each sermon is a large capital letter, such as 
are met with iu printed books of the period. Throughout the manuscript the 
type used by the early Spanish printers is carefully imitated.

3362 Sermones en lengua Achi 6 Tzutuhil, compuestos para el 
uso de los padres de la Orden de Santo Domingo de Guatemala, a 
principios del Siglo XVII, conforme al estilo del E. P. Fray Do- 
mingo de Vico. * 
Manuscript. 174 11. 4°. In a correct and beautiful handwriting, without the 
author's name, although one of the folios bears the date of 1635. It is composed 
of thirty -three sermons in Tzutuhile, having for their subject the principal feasts 
of the saints and of the year. From the note placed at the end of the Theologia 
Indorum, in Tzutuhil, by P. Domingo de Vico, these sermons, as well as this last 
work, must have been translated and transcribed with the aid of some instructed 
Indians, who made interpolations in their own manner, which are not quite ortho- 
dox, being more in harmony with their ancient, idolatrous rites thau with Christi- 
anity, "adding," says the annotator, "some foolish things." Apparently for this 
same reason, the line at the commencement of the sermon on the Last Judgment 
is completely effaced. 
The Tzutuhil, or Achi language, as it is called by the annotator of the Theologia 
Indorum, cited above, was and still is the language of the population gathered 
about Atitan in Guatemala, and on the south and west slopes of the mountain
