Summary

Transcription of a note by Buckingham Smith published in Historical Magazine 5.4 (April 1861), including bibliographical information about and slightly fewer than 150 words from the Arte y vocabulario en lengua mame of Diego de Reinoso, a 17th-century Guatemalan friar who is not the 16th-century Diego de Reinoso associated with the Popol Vuh. The words are arranged alphabetically according to their English equivalents. The vocabulary is followed by a list of cardinal numbers and a list of prepositions that Berendt attributes to the 19th-century Mexican linguist and historian Francisco Pimentel. Berendt includes some comments of his own on Smith's grammatical observations and notes the locations of copies of Reinoso's work, including the information that one copy had just been sold in Paris in January 1868 (p. 9).
