The Noceda–Sanlúcar Vocabulario de la lengua tagala (Manila, licensed 1753–54)

The Jesuit dictionary of Tagalog, licensed at Manila in 1753 and 1754 and reprinted at Valladolid in 1832 and Manila in 1860. Its prologue states the evidentiary rule the work was built on: Juan de Noceda spent thirty years checking roots word by word and would not fix the meaning of one until twelve fluent Tagalog speakers agreed on its pronunciation, accent and sense — and it states, on the same pages, that the whole apparatus exists for the parish priests of "nuestros indios tagalos".
