Summary

Volume 1 is C. Hermann Berendt's copy of the late 16th- or early 17th-century Maya-Spanish dictionary of Antonio de Ciudad Real, containing thousands of entries with extensive annotations by Berendt in blue ink, red ink, and pencil. Ciudad Real's manuscript has been associated with the Franciscan convent in Motul, Mexico. Volume 2 is Berendt's copy of a slightly later Spanish-Maya dictionary, with the main text in black and green (faded black?) ink and annotations in blue ink, red ink, and pencil. Volume 3 contains additions and corrections to Volume 1. The volumes were started in 1864 and annotated over many years. Among the sources of the annotations and corrections are the works of Pedro Beltrán de Santa Rosa (Item 9 and Item 10 in this collection) and Gabriel de San Buenaventura (Item 8), and the Diccionario de Ticul and Diccionario de San Francisco (Item 2 and Item 3).
