Name:

Vico, Domingo de, 1485-1555

1700

Description:

A copy of an excerpt from Vico's tract in the Tzutuhil language, originally written in 1553, followed by a sermon on Matthew 11.28 and a probably partial sermon on Luke 10.3 (though its title references the evangelist Mark). According to the spine title, the sermons are in the Achi language. The last two leaves do not seem to be in consecutive order and the end of the manuscript is probably lacking.
