Manuscript 8°. Written on very heavy parchment. It is composed now of 
103 leaves, in long lines, written in half-Gothic characters. Leaves 2-8, 25-28, 
56-59, and 104 to the end are wanting. 
This manuscript is one of those precious works undertaken by the mission- 
aries for the conversion of the Indians. We are indebted to the kindness of M. 
Brasseur de Bourbourg for the translation of some words of the title which we 
give, and for the following observations: 
"The volume announced above is a collection of prayers and meditations, 
written a few years after the conquest of Guatemala, in a dialect which resem- 
bles both the Quich6 and the Kakchiquel, analagous to that which is yet spoken 
by the natives of Zipacapa, department of Huehuetenango. That it was the 
work of P. Domingo de Vico, dominicain, the wisest man of that time among the 
companions of Las Casas and who was killed by the Lacandons in 1555, would 
not be surprising." 
Though incomplete, the above manuscript deserves to be preserved, not only 
as an historic document but as a specimen of the language spoken by the natives 
at the time of the conquest. In point of curiosity and variety it is the finest 
article of our collection. It is so mucli the more important because we believe 
it unique in execution ; it is written on parchment, and generally the first works 
written by the missionaries were on maguey paper. 
P. Domingo de Vico, prior of the convents of Guatemala, Chiapa, and Coban, 
founded the City of San Andres. He was constituted bishop of Vera Paz. —
