Summary

A 19th-century drama in Quiché and Spanish about the conquest of Mexico. Montezuma and Cortés both appear as characters, and the title of the play is the name of another character.

Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from title page (f. 1r); the third character of the title is a Parra symbol, which has been transcribed as a double c in all later references.
   
• "This is a modern drama written by a native, in Kiche and Spanish, the plot based on the conquest of Mexico. It is one of the few correct specimens of the native drama which have been preserved, and although not possessing the claim of antiquity, presents the general style and manner of treatment adopted in the primitive scenic representations" (Brinton).
