Summary

Handwritten copy of an extract from a manual for confessors of 1803, in Spanish and Maya, probably in the hand of Florentino Gimeno Echevarría (Echeverría?), of Campeche, who at the time was the owner of the original manuscript (for the original, see Ms. Coll. 700, Item 26; its title carries the slightly different title: Modo de confesar en lengua maya); the copy corresponds to approximately ten pages in the first quarter of the original (beginning at the top of the ninth page of the original, f. 6r). The title page of the present copy, in the hand of C. Hermann Berendt, includes his notes, signed by him (f. i recto), giving details about the original manuscript, and making reference to a communication about it from Echevarría; a passage in the notes citing the date 1647 is stricken out. In his notes Berendt also highlights a reference in the manual (found on f. 6v-7r in the present copy) that suggests the anonymous author was himself a friar responsible for the parish of Tixcacal (in the former province Cupul, vicinity of Tekom) and a native of Campeche. For a copy in Berend'ts hand of the beginning pages of the same manual, see Ms. Coll. 700, the fourth item in the bound volume containing Items 46 and 47; in the latter copy the last name of the owner of the manuscript is spelled: Echeverría.
