Theologia Indorum : manuscript, [15--].

Contains texts written in several unidentified hands, all of the 16th century, one of these (of 30 pages) being in K'iche'. A notation on the inside of the cover says "Tzutuhil," The greater part of the volume is clearly Kaqchikel, but the first section (fols. 71-100), different in writing entirely, with red initial letters running all through the text, uses the specifice Tzutuhil words "ca-tte, ca-tte," which belong to Atitlan, the capital of the old Tzutuhil kingdom. Tzutuhil is much closer to Kaqchikel than is K'iche', in spite of its being almost surrounded by K'iche'-speaking towns. There are only two other known Tzutuhil mss. (both in the Bibliothèque nationale de France). It is to be noted that the texts in this volume do not use the special characters found in all Kaqchikel and K'iche' texts after about the middle or late 16th century, until the languages, and learning, became so run down that their use ceased.
