Luis de Villalpando

VILLALPANDO, Luis de (veel-yal-pan'-do), Spanish missionary, born in New Castile about 1480; died in Yucatan about 1560. He entered the Franciscan order, and going to Mexico in 1548 with the monks sent by order of Charles V. for the province of Yucatan, he was the first missionary to visit Campeachy, and founded the earliest mission among the Indians of Yucatan. He wrote a valuable grammar of the Maya dialect, which, according to Leon Pinelo in his " Epitome de la Biblioteca oriental y occidental," has been printed under the title "Arte y Vocabulario de la Lengua Maya," although no copy is known to exist. The original manuscript is still preserved among the archives of Simancas.
