From the Collection:
This book is the registry of masses, both sung and said, at the Convento Nuestro Padre San Francisco in the Ciudad Real de Guatemala. Within the text, the convent is also referred to as San Antonio. The first section of the book is dedicated to the enumeration of specific masses recited at the convent, while the second half deals with those masses which were sung. In addition to the actual registration of masses given each month, the book contains the names of the priests that performed the masses, the number and type of masses each month and the names of the Church officials certifying the information. The registry was used continually between the years 1794 and 1817. According to the signed affidavit at the end of the text, the registry was discovered at the convent, forgotten and full of dust, 15 June 1892.
