Platicas piadosas en lengua mexicana vulgar de Guatemala
- Description
- A 18th-century group of sermons or religious talks in the Pipil language on topics including John 6.55 (Qui manducat carnem meam, the Eucharist), John 3.1 (Erat homo ex Phariseis), Luke 11.27-28 (In illo tempore loquente Jesu ad turbas), and St. Nicholas of Tolentino. Scriptural references in the text are often in Latin. The original foliation suggests that this manuscript was removed from a larger volume; in its current form it has a title page added by the abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg.
