| Item Description: | Ms. codex. - Title supplied by cataloguer. - Probably written in Mexico in the 18th century. - This catechism is without glosses and it is unclear for which Indian language group it was prepared. - Manuscript catechism in Testerian hieroglyphs written on watermarked European paper. - In the early period of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, before religious instructors had learned the languages of the indigenous peoples, they used pictorial stories describing basic teachings to spread the Christian Gospel. These catechisms were called Testerians, after Father Jacobo de Testera, a Franciscan priest who pioneered this method of teaching. - Hieroglyphs are written on verso and recto of facing leaves; many leaves are blank |
