1614WRCAM40774Los Reyes i.e. Lima: Por Francisco del Canto 1614. 43528-31 i.e. 36-391176 leaves. Last five leaves in expert facsimile. Contemporary limp vellum. Light to moderate soiling of binding corner of rear cover chipped. Titlepage mutilated around edges affecting first portion of title; mounted on newer leaf. Second leaf clumsily repaired around edges not affecting text. Trimmed closely at top affecting text in some places. Light soiling. Good. An important Indian language work from the first and at the time only press in South America printed only twenty-eight years after the beginning of printing there and twenty-six years before the Bay Psalm Book was published. Del Canto the owner and operator of the only press in South America at the time was the second printer in Peru. He acquired his press directly from Antonio Ricardo the first printer in South America. This work begins with a grammar of the Quechua language followed by Quechua-Spanish and Spanish-Quechua dictionaries. The book is in a handy smaller format for use in the field. Medina says this book is "extraordinariamente raro" and it is lacking from many of the great collections. <br> <br> This work is generally credited to Del Canto the author of the introduction but parts of it may be by Gonzalez Holguin whose other publications on Peruvian Indian language were published in Lima in 1607 and 1608. Sabin attributes authorship however to Ludovico Bertonio. Only eight copies on OCLC. MEDINA LIMA 58. VARGAS UGARTE 79. PALAU 17729. SABIN 5020. JCB 3II:101. OCLC 6783843 251190642.
