Scope and Contents

Includes a grammar (47 leaves), analysis of words (10 leaves), and a catechism (6 leaves). Brasseur de Bourbourg acquired the manuscript from a Belgian engineer named Van de Gehuchte, who obtained it from the parish archives at Totonicapan. It apparently served as a model for the grammar of Ximenez and the Cakchiquel grammar of Flores.
