Notes: A treatise on the life and death of Jesus Christ. Preface “Al lector” in Spanish, text allegedly in Nahuatl; there is some question as to whether this work is in Nahuatl or Pipil. Parallel title from ms. title page added by abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg to only known copy in the world. Place of publication and printer statements from Brasseur de Bourbourg’s added ms. title page. Century of publication from his Bib. Mexico-Guatémalienne. Medina, who took his description of the title from Brasseur de Bourbourg, gives the following imprint statement: “Impresa en la Nueva Guatemala en la Imprenta de las Benditas Animas, que dirige D. Alejo Mariano Bramonte. Año 17..” Either printed in 17th century, but not by Bramonte; or pinted by Bramonte, between 1789 and 1798 when Bramonte operated the Imprenta de las Benditas Animas, which he founded. JCB copy excessively trimmed with some loss of text.
