His grammar was the earliest published of this language. Palau (#190160) notes the rarity of the first edition of 1767. Only one copy of the present edition has sold at auction since at least 1975, according to American Book Prices Current.

Extended Description and Notes
Friars wrote several grammars, the earliest documented of which was the Arte de la lengua othomí of Pedro de Cárceres in 1580 (but not published until 1907). In 1605, Alonso de Urbano wrote a trilingual Spanish-Nahuatl-Otomi dictionary, which also included a small set of grammatical notes about Otomi. The grammarian of Nahuatl, Horacio Carochi, is known to have written a grammar of Otomi, but unfortunately no copies have survived. In the latter half of the eighteenth century, an anonymous Jesuit cleric wrote the grammar Luces del Otomi , and Neve y Molina wrote a dictionary and a grammar.
