Summary Photographic reproduction of a Quiché grammar and catechism, composed by the Dominican friar Fray Marcos Martínez in Totonicapan, Guatemala, probably sometime between 1565 and 1584. The first 97 pages contain a basic Quiché grammar, with explanations in Spanish of the pronunciation of sounds unique to the language, plurals, declension of nouns, verb tenses, infinitives, participles, and adverbs. In the following section (p. [99]-[120]), Father Martínez analyzes certain Quiché words, giving related words, definitions, and differences in meanings for each term. Pages [121]-[132] are a short catechism of Christian doctrine in Quiché, accompanied by the Acts of Faith, Hope, and Charity, the sign of the Cross, and the administration of the viaticum to the sick.
