Arte de lengua cakchiquel : año de 1754 / del usso de Fr. Estevan Torresano.
Abstract:
A 19th-century copy of Torresano's 1754 grammar for the Cakchiquel language based on Flores' Arte de la lengua metropolitana del reyno cakchiquel of 1753 (note on p. 2). It includes a section on counting in Cakchiquel (pp. 109-126); "Parallelo de las lenguas Kiche, Cakchiquel y [Tz]utuhil," a comparison of some of the grammar points of the three languages and a vocabulary list in four columns comparing common words in the three languages with translations in Spanish (pp. 127-148); "Ortographia para la buena pronunciacion de estas tres languas," a discussion of the letters which these languages have in common with Spanish and those letters omitted, as well as the Parra letters used to represent the six sounds unique to these three languages (pp. 149-155); and a number of petitions and prayers in Spanish alongside Cakchiquel translations (p. 159-179).
From the collection of C. Hermann Berendt, later acquired by Daniel Garrison Brinton (ex libris stamp on title page, p. 1).; Copied from a copy made by or for E. G. Squier (1821-1888) from the 1754 original in the Bibliothèque Nationale (note on p. 2).
