The Annals of the Cakchiquels, a Kaqchikel-language history kept by the Xahila family of Guatemala (printed Philadelphia 1885)

A history of the Kaqchikel nation written in Kaqchikel, in the Latin alphabet the missions taught, by a member of its ruling family who was already an adult when the Spaniards arrived in 1524, and continued by his kin. It records the epidemic that killed its author's grandfather and father before any Spaniard reached them, the levies of five hundred men and five hundred women for the gold washings, and the royal official whose arrival stopped the burnings.
