Additional Details

Apparently a second edition ("reimpresso"), but no copies of any earlier edition have been traced. A manual for confessors in parallel Spanish and Nahuatl. Beristain states that the author arrived in México in 1623, so the lost first edition presumably dates from that period. Medina, México 3798; Palau 283406; Pilling 3428; Sabin 74650.
