Jesuit college, and entered the Dominican order in Puebla de los Angeles in
1603, when his protector was promoted to the viceroyalty of Peru.
Soon afterward he was sent to the missions of Oajaca,

fluently to the Indians in that tongue, he was guardian of several convents,
including the chief one of his order at Oajaca, and is buried in the church of
the convent of Tlajiaco.
He wrote "Diccionario copioso y erudito de la Lengua
