Title, reverse wood-cut, 11.; 15 other p. 11.; text, 11.1-112; errata 2 11. 
Roman heafling. 12°. Improvedtitleof No. 226. "This work," the Ramirez Sale 
Catalogue says, "has caused much diversity of opinion among Mexican Biblio- 
graphers as to whether there were more than one edition issued. The present 
copy con ains two distinct lists of errata, each occupying 2 11., the heading of 
the one being printed in Roman letters, that of the other in italics. Seuor Ramirez 
has inserted a note in which he argues that both lists of errata pertain to the one 
edition, and asserts in oonsequencetliat this was the only edition published. 
BaiJtista, or Bautista, was a native Mexican. He became a Franciscan of the 
province of Santo Evaugelio de Mejico. He taught philosophy and theology, 
and had for his pupil F. Tonjuemada, the author of 'Monarquia Indiana.' He 
was esteemed the most learned of his time in the Mexican language, which ho 
spoke and wrote with purity and elegance." 
Tross gives this the date of 1599-1000, which is a mistake. The date perhaps 
refers to the Adverteucias, No. 231. 
229 a Hvehvetlahtolli.. • 
10°. Title furnished by Mr. W. Eames, from a copy seen at the sale of books be- 
longing to Hon. H. C. Murphy, which copy now belongs to Dr. Brinton. This copy 
lacks the beginning. It contains signature A in eight unnumbered leaves, com- 
mencing in the middle of a sentencoof the prefatory matter in Spanish, which ends 
on the verso of the eighth leaf with "De ste Conuento, de Sanctiago Tlatilulco. 
Fray loan Baptista." The Mexican toxt begins on leaf 1, with signature B, the 
first leaf of which is lacking, and ends ou the verso of leaf 76. It consists of 
vanous "Platicas," each with a heading in Spanish. The running top-heading 
is the Mexican word "Hvehvetlahtolli." On the recto of 1. 77 is the following:
