At the head of the manuscript proper is the notation: Aputamtos para formar un arte de idiomas y en vocabulario o. dicionario (p. 1), in the hand of José Maria Sánchez.

Hermann Berendt , comprising a listing of 18 Spanish words along with 3 columns showing the Zoque as transcribed by Sánchez; as in an anonymous vocabulary (not further identified); and in Berendt's analytical alphabet.
