Summary:
"In 1555 the first dictionary of an indigenous language from the Americas was published in Mexico City. The volume entitled, 'Aqui comiença vn vocabulario enla lengua castellana y mexicana,' ('Here begins a vocabulary in the Spanish and Mexican language'), was by Alonso de Molina (1514–79), a Franciscan cleric and grammarian. In it Molina outlined the basic structure of Nahuatl, an Uto-Aztecan language spoken in central Mexico since at least the tenth century, and the lingua franca at the time of the arrival of the Europeans in 1519.
The book was published by Giovanni Paoli (1500 ? – 1561), who on June 12, 1539, had set sail from the Spanish city of Seville with a cargo that would change the face of the Americas forever. On board with Paoli came all the materials and knowledge necessary to start publishing books in the Americas. Perhaps better known by his Spanish name, Juan Pablos, he had been sent to the New World by Juan Cromberger (d. 1540), one of the most successful printers in Spain, to establish the first printing press on the new continent. Juan Pablos arrived in Mexico City in October 1539 and quickly set up a press that would become known as the Casa de Juan Cromberger. Between Pablos’ arrival and his death in 1561, he published 37 titles, only some of which survive to the present day.
