and Vocabulario. Sr. D. Francisco Pimentel, in his " Cuadro Descriptive y Com- 
parative de las Lenguas Indigenas de Mexico," vol. 2, speaks of the works of Vil-

" The first Maya grammar was composed by Father Luis de Villalpando, the 
first Catholic priest that set foot upon the peniusula of Yucatan at Campea- 
chy. This grammar was never published and was much improved by Father 
Landa. His treatise with the additions of the bishop remained in manuscript, 
but was the basis of the grammars of Fathers Juan Coronel and Gabriel de San 
Bouaventura, which in their turn were largely used by Father Pedro Beltran." — 
Norman's Eamhles in Yucatan. 
" The first Maya dictionary printed was issued in the City of Mexico in 1571. 
It was published as that of Father Luis de Villalpando, but as he had then been 
dead nearly twenty years, it was i)robably merely based upon his vocabulary. 
It was iu large 4to, of the same size as the second edition of Molina's Vocabula- 
rio de la Lengua Mexieana. At least one copy of it is known to be in existence. 
For more than three centuries no other dictionary was put to press, although for 
some unexplained reason that of Villalpando was unknown in Yucatan." — Brin- 
ton's Maya Chronicles, pp. 7i-75.
