Penn Provenance:

Probably copied by or at the direction of Daniel Garrison Brinton, from a manuscript of C. Hermann Berendt that was in Brinton's possession (Ms. Coll. 700, Item 57). Berendt had made his copy in 1878, from the original manuscript of a longer work with the title: Chronica de la Santa Provincia del Santissimo Nombre de Jesús de Guatemale de la Orden de N. Serafico Padre San Francisco en el reino de la Nueva España; Berendt consulted the latter work in the library of the Sociedad Económica in Guatemala City.

From the collection of Daniel Garrison Brinton (University of Pennsylvania Library bookplate for the Daniel Garrison Brinton Library; inside upper cover of the bound volume in which the present manuscript is contained).

Summary:

Late 19th-century copy of a 17th-century work on the calendar of the Cakchikel Indians of Guatemala, evidently copied by or under the direction of Daniel Garrison Brinton, probably from a manuscript copy of the same work produced by C. Hermann Berendt in Guatemala City in 1878 (see Ms. Coll. 700, Item 57, p. 9-27); Berendt's copy was based on the original manuscript. In terms of the primary material, the present manuscript corresponds to Berendt's copy in content and format; it does not include any of Berendt's own annotations, and does not explicitly refer to Berendt's manuscript.

Notes:

Ms. component part.
