Abstract:
  • A collection of sermons in Pokonchi by Viana, written around 1600. This volume later came to fray Dionisio de Zuniga who restored it by adding the "sermones" for the missing Sundays, as composed by a "much inferior scholar, fary Gonzalo Ximeno." These Ximeno Sermones, in the writing of Zuniga, comprise fols. 1-116, 197-212. Folios 117-198 are the Viana original.
