EXCESSIVELY RARE: there was no copy in the magnificent Brinley collection. There are two titles, the Natik on the left, the English on the right; on the reverse of the latter the first page of the Indian translation is printed, faced by the first page of the English. These are paged 1, 1, and the two texts proceed then side by side, 2, 2, 3, 3, and so on till they finish on pages 36, 36. Four pages succeed, containing the first 28 verses of John in Indian and English.

Of the original edition only two copies are known. One of these is in the library of Mr. James Lenox, of New York; the other is in the British Museum. Only 100 copies of this reprint were printed.

Bartholome) Manual para administrar los Santos Sacramentos de Penitencia, Eucharistia, Extrema-Uncion, y Matrimonio: Dar Gracias despues de Comulgar, y Ayudar a Bien Morir A los Indios de las Naciones: Pajalates, Orejones, Pacaos, Pacóas Tilijayas, Alasapas, Pausanes y otras muchas diferentes, que se hallan en las Missiones del Rio de San Antonio, y Rio Grande, pertenecientes à el Colegio de la Santissima Cruz de la Ciudad de Queretaro, como son : Los Pacuâches, Mescâles, Pampôpas, Tâcames, Chayopînes, Venados, Pamâques, y toda la Juventud de Pihuiques, Borrados, Sanipaos, y Manos de Perro, sm. 4to. vellum, the Ramirez copy, £8. 8s (Mexico) en la Imprenta de los Herederos de Dona Maria de Rivera, 1760 EXTREMELY RARE. Not known to Brunet, Salva, or Brasseur de Bourbourg, nor is the author mentioned by Beristain, and there was no copy in the Andrade collection. Leclerc in his Bibl. Amer. believed that M. Maisonneuve's copy-priced 600 frs.—was the only one in Europe.

Collation: Title; 7 prel. 11.; and 88 pp. (a corner of a leaf slightly defective). The author was a missionary among the Apache Indians of the Rio Grande del Norte. The book is printed in double columns, on the one side the Spanish version, and on the other the Apache.

30097 ORACION DOMINICAL en las lenguas Cahita, Teguima, Opata, y Mazahua, sm. 4to. MS. of 7 leaves, £2. 2s Atlacomulco, 1857

Heve:

Including an interesting letter of the Curate of Atlacomulco on the Mazahua language.

The Cahita and Opata are languages of Northern Mexico, the Teguima being a dialect of the latter; the Mazahua is a dialect of the Otomi language of Central Mexico.

30098 GRAMMATICAL SKETCH of the Heve Language, translated from an unpublished Spanish MS. by Buckingham Smith, roy. 8vo. hf. red morocco, 12s

N. Y. 1861

No. III of Shea's Libr. of Linguistics. The Hevc language was spoken principally in the province of Sonora.

Opata, or Teguima:

30099 AGUIRRE (Manuel) Doctrina Christiana, y Platicas Doctrinales, traducidas en Lengua Opata, sm. 4to. vellum, £12. Mexico, 1765 EXCEEDINGLY RARE. The Opata dialect is spoken in Sonora, Mexico. No copy is mentioned by Brunet, Brasseur de Bourbourg, Graesse, Leclerc, Vater, or Salva. The Maximilian copy fetched £6. 10s, in 1869. Collation: Title and 2 prel. 11.; 162 pp.; Index (1 leaf.) 30100 LOMBARDO (el Padre Natal) Arte de la Lengua Teguima vulgarmente llamada Opata, 8vo. wants last leaf of Index, fine clean copy, vellum, £45. 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.

[blocks in formation]

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.

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.

30112 VOCABULARIO OTOMI, folio, MS. over 700 pp. containing a copious Spanish-Otomi Dictionary, hf. bd. lettered "Vocabulario Mazahua," £16.

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.

COLLATION: Title, portrait and prel. 11. (together 7 11. and 1 blank); 162 pp.; Index (6 pp.); Errata (2 11.); "Al concluir " (1 1.). The Tarahumara dialect is spoken in Chihuahua, Mexico.

EXCEEDINGLY RARE. Not known to Brunet, Graesse, Brasseur de Bourbourg, Beristain de Souza, Salva or Andrade. It is very doubtful whether a perfect copy of this work exists. The only other copy of which I can find any record is the Maximilian (Fischer) copy, which was also imperfect (wanting the Title and last leaves) and was sold with all faults.

COLLATION: The present copy contains sigs. b (sig. a wanting) to y, in eights (of y this copy has only the first three leaves). The pagination is irregular, and many of the leaves are unnumbered. This copy has sig. » (i) in duplicate. The missing fourteen leaves are folios 34, 39, 52, 53, 74, 79, 101, 115, 119, 120, 148, 167, 168, and 172.
