Excerpt from Discovery of a Fragment of the Printed Copy of the Work on the Millcayac Language
While calling my attention to the very extensive collection of linguistic material relating to South America, Professor A. C. Coolidge, Director of the University Library, chanced to take from a package an envelope containing the two leaves, which I at once recognized as belonging to the book by Father Val divia.
It is quite evident that these leaves were stolen from the orig inal book by some vandal. The left hand edges of the leaves show that they were cut out, one being 1 mm., and the other mm. Narrower than the full page of 9 cm. The title of the Confessionario bore a seal (possibly of a Jesuit monas tery) but it was effaced by the vandal's covering the edges with Scrawls. On the right hand margin of page 12, where a name appears to have been written, the same operation was repeated, making it impossible to discover the monastery library owning the volume from which these leaves were taken.
