Page 1 has a very brief Wikipedia article about Ayer ms. 1478, a manuscript copy of Nebrija’s Spanish-Latin dictionary, with a translation of each entry into Nahuatl. There is nothing else in the book regarding this manuscript. The rest of the content consists of Wikipedia articles on: “Spanish language,” “Manuscript,” “Antonio de Nebrija,” “Nahuatl,” “Newberry Library,” “Chicago,” “Illinois,” “Cuneiform script,” “Inscription,” “Typewriter,” and “Manuscript format.”
