Mexico, Miguel de Ribera, 1702 EXCESSIVELY RARE. Title; 7 prel. I.; text, with index (251 numbered 11.). The author was an Italian Jesuit and Missionary in the province of Sonora (in which state the dialect is spoken) for twenty-six years. His work is not mentioned by Brunet, Graesse, Brasseur de Bourbourg, Salva, Leclerc, or Vater, and there was no copy of it in the Fischer, Maximilian, or Andrade collection. In fact, I do not find any mention of it by any bibliographer, except Beristain de Souza, and the compiler of the Ramirez catalogue. 30101 LOMBARDO (Natal) Arte de la lengua Teguima, llamada vulgarmente Opata, sm. 4to. AUTOGRAPH MS. neatly written, £10. 10s About 1690 The value of this MS. may be estimated from the fact that perhaps no more than two copies are known to be at present extant of the edition which was printed in 1702. It is the only Opata Grammar. Otomi: 30102 CARCERES (Fray Pedro de) Artezilla de la lengua Otomi cogida de las migajas de los padres benemeritos della, y del cornadillo ofrecido por el menor de los menores... Recopilada pol el pe. F. Po. de Carceres, g. de queretaro, sm. 4to. 114 pp. MS. in Gothic handwriting of the latter part of the 16th century, beautifully executed, and imitating the printed Gothic letters so well that, at first sight, it might rather be taken for a printed book than for a MS. sd. £15. ? Queretaro, about 1580 This is undoubtedly a volume of considerable interest and importance. The author was unknown to Beristain and other special bibliographers, and his name is not recorded by Siguenza and Boturini. Yet he must have been a scholar of high mark, when we consider that this is the first Grammar ever composed of the difficult Otomi language, in spite of which fact it is an elaborate and extensive treatise. Pedro de Carceres or Caceres may perhaps be sought for in some history of the Frauciscan missions; he describes his work very modestly as compiled from the scraps of the well-deserving Fathers and his own mite. 30103 EXAMEN critico de la Gramatica Otomi de Neve Ꭹ Molina; Discurso critico de la Doctrina Otomi, sm. 4to. original MS. 140 pp. sd. £6. 10s Mexico, about 1770 Both works by a single anonymous writer, who tells us, however, that he is a native of Otomi, who by forty years of continental study had made himself a perfect master of this, the most difficult of all American languages. The first of the two treatises is one of the bitterest and severest critiques that have ever been written, and exposes the weakness and defectiveness of Neve's Grammar. Both the treatises contain not only valuable information on the language of the inhabitants of the Mexican Valley before the immigration of the Toltecs and the rise of the Mexicans-still largely in use among the natives-but also interesting historical notices. 30104 GAONA (Juan) I. Coloquios de la paz y tranquilidad christiana. Interlocutores: Un religioso y un colegial [traduzidos en lengua Othomi]-[Doctrina Christiana y Catechismo en lengua Othomi] -2 vols. in 1, 12mo. finely written MS. 458 pp. in the original stamped binding, £21. Vera Cruz, about 1600 Both these works are in the OTHOMI LANGUAGE, written about the end of the sixteenth century, in a small, clear, and beautiful handwriting, with titles and initials in red. The first work is translated from Gaona's Nahuatl text printed at Mexico in 1582; the second is anonymous, but may be a translation from some well-known work. The value and interest of this little volume, from a linguistic point of view, are very great. 30105 GUADALUPĖ RAMIREZ, Breve Compendio de todo lo que debe saber el Christiano dispuesto en lengua Othomi (y Castellana), sm. 4to. printed with characters invented for the language, fine copy in vellum, £3.

The first 17 pages are in explanation of the letters, etc. The Epitome of this Compendio, printed on a broadsheet for school use, is sometimes found folded at the end of the volume, but does not belong to it. 30107 NAXERA (Em.) de Lingua Othomitorum Dissertatio, 4to. sd. 15s Philad. 1835 30108 Disertacion sobre la Lengua Othomi, traducida al Castellano, Mexico, 1845-Guadalupe Ramirez, Compendio de todo lo que debe saber el Christiano, en lengua Othomi, title supplied in MS., wanting pp. 3-6 and 9-18, mounted (1785)— 2 vols. in 1, sm. folio, hf. bd. £2. 2s 1785-1845 30109 NEVE Y MOLINA (Luis de) Reglas de Orthographia, Diccionario, y Arte del Idioma Othomi, 12mo. fine copy, with the excessively rare frontispiece and engraved leaf of errata, vellum, £3. Mexico, 1767 This volume is very rare and much sought for, as Neve is the best of all writers upon Otomi Grammar. He was the first to establish a proper system of characters, which has been since retained. 30110 NEVE, Reglas, Diccionario y Arte del Idioma Othomi, 16mo. cloth, 98 1863 30111 YEPES (J. L.)

Pimentel, who examined this MS., declared that the language was Matzahua (there being no specification in the book itself of the speech it refers to), and the book was accordingly so lettered. But the Mexican scholar Icazbalceta inclined to the belief that it is Otomi, and a comparison of the text of the Lord's Prayer, which is given by Bancroft in both those tongues, makes it almost indisputable that the vocabulary here is Otomi, not Mazahua. Its interest and value are in any case very great. The state and condition of the MS. leave nothing to desire. We have been unable to discover anything respecting the author.
