These pencil sketches belong to a #manuscript written by a parish priest of Nebaj, a home to the Ixil, a Maya people indigenous to Guatemala. The contents of this work are a treasure of notes on Ixil grammar and vocabulary, as well as religious information including parallel translations in Ixil and Spanish of the marriage ceremony and the sacrament of confession. The decorative drawings of a man and a plant shown here are a lovely bonus.***Doctrina y confesionario en lengua ixil, Nebaj, Guatemala, 1824Ms coll 700 Item 91 http://ow.ly/bNXp30dlJp1 facsimile: http://ow.ly/G8jd30dlJra Berendt-Brinton Linguistic Collection***#kislakcenter #pennlibraries #manuscripts #manuscriptmonday #mayapeople #indigenous #indigenouspeople #indigenouspeoples #grammar #vocabulary #linguistics #pencilsketch #pencilsketches #drawing #guatemalanhistory #berendtbrintonlinguisticcollection #mesoamerica -- source link
