Note 320 — PART IV. LINGUISTIC. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The most valuable for linguistic researches are the following:
Arte de Grammatica da Lingua maís usada na Costa do Brazil. By Joseph de Anchieta. This is the oldest authority, Anchieta having commenced as missionary to the Tupis in 1556.
Arte, Vocabulario y Tesoro de la Lengua Guarani, ó mas bien Tupi. By Antonio Ruiz de Montoya. An admirable work representing the southern Tupi as it was in the first half of the seventeenth century.
Both the above have been republished in recent years. Of modern writings I would particularly name:
Apontamentos sobre o Abañeénga tambem chamado Guarani on Tupi. By Dr. B. C. D’A. Nogueira (Rio Janeiro, 1876).
