by Neve y Molina, Luis de

  • Used
Mexico: En la Imprenta de la Bibliotheca Mexicana, 1767. Good plus.. [24],160pp., plus engraved errata leaf. Short octavo. Contemporary marbled wrappers. Lacking frontispiece portrait, as usual. Light wear at edges of wraps. Errata leaf trimmed at fore-edge, slightly affecting text. Occasional light foxing. A foundational 18th-century dictionary and orthography for the native Mexican Otomi language. Neve y Molina, who may have been Otomi himself, was the first to set out standard orthographical rules for spellings of words in the Mexican tongue. The work is split into three parts. The first contains Molina's orthography; the second provides Otomi equivalents for over two thousand Spanish words and a list of numbers from one to one thousand; and the third section consists of a grammar of the language in Spanish with examples of Otomi phrases. "The author was the first to establish a proper system of characters, which has been since retained" --Sabin. "Muy rara" -- Palau. Lacking the frontispiece, as quite often, but otherwise a nice copy in wrappers of this important work on the central Mexican language. García Icazbalceta, Lenguas 55. Medina, Mexico 5174. Palau 190159. Pilling, Proof-sheets 2738. Sabin 52413.

Description:
[24]+160 pages lacking frontispiece plate. Small octavo (5 3/4" x 4") bound in contemporary vellum. Sabin 52413. Medina, Mexico 5174; Palau 190159 First edition. A dictionary of the Otomi language.
The author was the first to establish a proper system of characters, which has been since retained.
Otomi is an Oto-Pamean language spoken by approximately 240,000 indigenous Otomi people in the central altiplano region of Mexico. Otomi consists of several closely related languages, many of which are not mutually intelligible. The word Hñähñu [hɲɑ̃hɲṹ] has been proposed as an endonym, but since it represents the usage of a single dialect, it has not gained wide currency. Linguists have classified the modern dialects into three dialect areas: the Northwestern dialects are spoken in Querétaro, Hidalgo and Guanajuato; the Southwestern dialects are spoken in the State of Mexico; and the Eastern dialects are spoken in the highlands of Veracruz, Puebla, and eastern Hidalgo and villages in Tlaxcala and… Read More

Description:
Mexico: Puente del Espiritu Santo, Cuidad de Mexico. Biblioteca Mexicana, 1767. Hardcover. Good, some staining to pages here and there, has the appearance of being tender, title-page with moderate foxing around the perimeter. The binding is contemporary and somewhat primitive, adding to the charm of this copy.. Paper covered boards 4" x 5 88") with applied cloth over spine and attaching to boards. Title-page, followed by engraved frontis, then (22) pp. of preliminaries, then pp. 1-160. Inserted at p. 13 is an engraved sheet or errata, dated 1768. Notes written in pencil on the ffep indicate that the frontis and engraved errata sheet present in this volume are excessively scarce and were unknown to Sabin. Both the engraved frontispiece and the engraved errata leaf are signed by the engraver Jose Francisco Gomez. There are also penciled notes of past prices written on the ffep, all relating to bookseller catalogues from the 19th century. The margins on the pages are sizable, adding to the… Read More
