Antonio Valeriano (died 1605), Nahua Latinist and governor of Mexico-Tenochtitlan

A Nahua from Azcapotzalco who learned Latin at the college of Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco, taught grammar there to Indian collegians and to young friars, and then governed the Indian parcialidad of San Juan Tenochtitlan for more than thirty-five years. The Franciscan who wrote his notice was his Nahuatl pupil and stood at his deathbed. The same chapter records that Latin teaching for Indians had by then stopped.
