Notes: There are two Lima 1616 versions of this work that have been confused with one another. This version (B616.T689a1) includes the reprint of the Seville, 1604 edition of the "Catecismo en la lengua española y aymara del Piru." The other version (B616.T689a2) does not. They also differ in signatures and foliation. Although Medina claims to have seen "otros dos ejemplares ..., pero ambos sin dicho Catecismo," apparently he confused the one version (B616.T689a1) with the other (B616.T689a2)

Title vignette: Jesuit trigram.

En Seuilla, : Por Bartolome Gomez., año de 1604. Although the Catecismo is foliated separately, the signatures and gatherings are continuous; the Catecismo begins with N5.
