This book, the result of the authors experience among the Indians of the Peruvian Amazon, presents a dictionary of the Quechua language, widely spoken by the aboriginal tribes of that region. Intended as a tool for missionaries, travelers, and traders, it compiles expressions, phrases, and words, translated into Spanish, describing the culture, religious beliefs, daily life, and natural world of the Quechua peoples. As a record of a now endangered language, this book holds great value for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of South America.
