| Summary: |
A manuscript copy of a Maya grammar written by Joaquin Ruz, translated into English by Baptist missionary John Kingdon, and printed at the Baptist Mission Press in Belize in 1847. A prefatory note by C. Hermann Berendt states that Ruz tried unsuccessfully to force Maya to follow the rules of Spanish grammar and refers to numerous errors in Maya and Spanish by Kingdon. One such error is that the grammar is not Yucatan, but Yucatecan. Berendt also claims that Ruz's work is a Maya translation of an earlier Spanish grammar textbook. |

| Summary: |
19th-century copy of a description of the Guatemalan province of Verapaz written by three Dominican friars, Francisco, prior of Viana; Lucas Gallego; and Guillem Cadena. Includes information on topography, climate, flora, fauna, settlements, churches, and population, as well as the work of the Dominicans in the province between 1554 and 1574. To his copy, C. Hermann Berendt added excerpts from Juan Gavarrette Escobar's Apuntes para los Anales del antiquo reino de Guatemala (f. 5v-6r) and a map of the region around Lago de Izabal, here under the name Golfo Dolce, copied in 1878 from a 1680 manuscript of Fuentes y Guzman's Recordacion Florida at the Biblioteca de la Universidad, Guatemala (f. 7v). There are also corrections and annotations in the main text in red ink. 16 loose notes, presumably made in the preparation of the manuscript and previously stored in an envelope mounted on f. 6r, are now in mylar and filed with the manuscript. |
