"There is no doubt that this was a rough draft intended for the press; and we 
have here not only a third book of Sahagun printed, but one totally unknown 
and, until now, unmentioned— the Manual del christiano. This Manual cannot 
be the Psalmodia, because not only have I seen by comparison that they are dif- 
ferent, but the latter was printed in log:?, the former in 1578. Nor is this Manual 
the Doctriua Christiana before named [No. 3446 of this catalogue], because, 
comparing the chapters of that with those which have the same number in this, 
it is seen that not only are the rubrics different, but the texts also. 
" The ret.ult of this disquisition, therefore, is that there are three books of Saha- 
gun which we know to have been printed in his lifetime : first, the Postilla [No. 
3446], which must have been printed before the year 1579; second, the Manual 
del christiano in 1578; and, ihird, the Psalmodia Christiana [No. 3441] in 1583." 
Chavero's work concludes with a letter from Sr. Icazbalceta, in which he speaks 
of the Manual as follows: "Let me call your attention to the fact that Beristain 
speaks of another published work by Sahagun : Cathecisnio de la Doctriua Cris- 
tiana en Lengua Mexicana. Imp. por Ocharfe, 1583. 4° [No. 3444 of this cata- 
logue]. 
"Although not entitled to perfect confidence, I think in this instance Beristain 
may be believed. As the titles of all the works were incomplete, it is not im- 
possible that this Catecismo may be the Manual del Cristiano of which you 
speak, which printing, agreed upon in 1578, was retard^^d until 1583— something 
which occurred with other works of that epoch."
