Item Summary

Consists of a dictionary compiled by fray Felix Solano and arranged Spanish-Kaqchikel. Includes a table of arabic numbers translated into Kakchiquel (pp. 599-609). This dictionary probably served as the model for all the various later copies and "vocabularios," those giving the Spanish first. Written in an unidentified 16th-century hand, with additions at back in a later 17th-century hand.
