About This Item
Puebla: Reimpreso por Pedro N. Alarcon, 1892. Good plus.. [4],201,[1]pp. 12mo. Original quarter sheep and pebbled cloth, spine blind tooled and gilt lettered. Extensive, contemporary gift inscription on front free endpaper verso. Light edge wear, spine and boards well rubbed. Initial gathering coming loose. Moderate tanning and scattered foxing. Second edition, after the first of 1835, of this extensive bilingual catechism on the "principal mysteries of our holy faith." The question-and-answer text, printed in Spanish and Nahuatl on facing pages provides basic explanations of the central tenets and practices of Catholicism. The present copy bears an inscription from Mexican theologian and polymath Agustin Rivera to a friend and fellow teacher at the Liceos de Padre Guerra in Lagos de Moreno, Bernardo Reyna. Rivera published many religious, historical, and pedagogical texts in Lagos, many for use in his school and on the subjects of native culture and history. A substantial, late 19th-century Nahuatl language imprint with an interesting association.
