Published copy of the second edition of Beltrán's Maya grammar (Merida de Yucatan: J. D. Espinosa, 1859), with annotations and corrections by C. Hermann Berendt. A note in Berendt's hand on the page before the printed title page explains the system of annotations in black (corrections made in copies of the first edition by Beltrán de Santa Rosa), blue (reproduction of the first edition in cases of printing errors in the second edition), and red (Berendt's own additions and corrections). A page following the printed text is the beginning (A-B) of a manuscript index titled Indice comparativo in which Berendt traces references for the index entries in the two editions of Beltrán's grammar as well as the earlier Maya grammar by Gabriel de San Buenaventura.
