Arte de la lengua matlazinga Basalenque, Diego

Manuscript. The work opens with an “arte de la lengua Matlatçinga abrebiado (“arte menor”), not included in Manrique’s edition of 1975, followed by a “cartilla”, followed by a grammar. After the grammar, preceding the dictionary, Basalenque appends a “tratado de la partículas de la lengua Matlaltzinga”, an alphabetically arranged list of “particulas antespuestas, interpuestas y pospuestas”. Some particles are described in the “treatise” and are also included in the dictionary (as ca que es partícula que significa tiempo” (f. 97r and 130v). The dictionary consists of two parts, Castellano-Matlazinca (ca. 10.000 entries) and Matlazinca-Castellano (ca. 4.300 entries (Manrique 1975, p. xx).
