Catecismo pictórico Otomí : manuscript, [between 1775 and 1825].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60355651

A pictorial prayer books that contain the catechism of the Catholic Church in picture writing. In this manuscript, as in most surviving examples, the drawings have little relationship to the traditional forms of Mexican Indian manuscript painting. The document has 51 illustrated pages and one gloss. Also there is a curious legend written on a preliminary leaf "Alaja preciosal cogida al enemigo en Sn. Yago del Cerro."

1 v. (26 leaves) : paper, ill. ; 8 x 6 cm.
