Manuscript. 340 pp. 4*^. From the only copy known, now or late in the library 
of the Ethnological Society. Villacanas died in 1610, at the age of 73 years, in 
the Dominican Convent, in the city of Guatemala. This is but one of a number 
of works he wrote in Cakchiquel, none of which have been published. They are 
especially valuable as presenting that language as it was spoken in the century 
of the conquest. Inserted in this volume is a brief life of Villacanas and a list 
of his works, as follows, taken from an unpublished work of Don Juan Gavarrete, 
entitled : Apuntes para los Analos del Antiguo Eeino de Guatemala.
