PASION — PEREZ. 1039 
2949 Perez [D. Jnau Pio). Dicciouario de la Lengua Maya. Merida 
de Yucatan, 1866-1877. A. c. W.WE. 
Full title and collation given in No. 2949. In a manuscript catalogue of the 
Berendt collection, Dr. Brintou spe.iks of this work as follows: 
This monument of life-Ions labor did not appear until some years after the 
author's dea h (March 6, 1859). The printing was begun in 1866, interrupted in 
1867 by the civil war, during which the manuscript "copy" came near destruc- 
tion, and finally comjjleted in 1877. Although Pio Perez was considered a 
thorough Maya scholar, errors are not infrequent in his dictionary, owing to 
faulty orthography or typography. Dr. Berendt points out eche for ecie, bich for 
abich, etc. ; but on the whole his corrections are few. Perez left his manuscript 
incomplete, ceasing at the word ulchahal. The remainder was prepared by Don 
Cresceucio Carrillo down to xen, and from that word to the end by Di-. Berendt. 
In fullness Perez's dictionary is much inferior to the Dicciouario de Motul [No. 
1030a]. Thus, under the letter A, Perez gives 586 words, and tlie Motul 2059, 
and about this proportion is maintained throughout.

Original manuscript. Title, verso blank, 1 1. ; Prologo, signed Juan Pio Perez, 
2 11.; pp. 1-468; 8 11. 
This manuscriiit, written in two columns, in a fine, clear hand by the cele- 
brated Yucatecan linguist, was presented by his niece to Dr. Berendt, and is that 
referred to in the latter's essay, " Los Trabajos Lingiiisticos de Don Juan Pio 
Perez," p. 5. The prologo is signed in full by Perez, but no date is given. It 
probably was written about 1845, and contains several hundred words not found 
in the printed work.
