Mr. Clark is now combing libraries of Spain and other Bouthern FEuropean countries in search for manuscripts dealing_ with the earlfer explorations and settlenments in the New World—a research (profect endowed by Oharles Gates Dawes, now Ambassador to Great Britain. Gets Tahitian Vocabulary. Among the rarest of his discoveries to date, he reports in letters to the Smithsontan. is a Tahitian vocabulary published in Lima, Pern, in 1774, ahortly after the discovery of the So- | ciety Islands. It was published for students wishing to learn the rudiments of the language of the brown-skinned patives before going among them spread the gospel. But it was generally supposed at the #ime that the islands, morally, were in A fearful state, where a white man would be considered as an especial prize by the dusky beautfes. So one of the few completed sentences provided the learners was A _stern rebuke to the Jovely sirens. All he had to do was to say “hisca amoyde” and the temptress would slink away in sham The lexicon is consigtered important from an etymological point of view, pro- viding informmtion concerning the lan- guage before it had been corrupted by contact with the white men. Found in Vatican Library. A still more valuable MmANuSCEipt WA secared by Mr. Clark while seprching through the Vatican Library—probably the first medical and botanical work prepared in the New World. It was an {llustrated list, in very idiomatic Latin, of the names and uses of a large num- ber of plants used by the Mexican na- tives for medicinal purposes. There were 180 water color paintings of the plants themselves in blossom. For each plant the Aztec name wes given, to- gether with the Latin neme in common use. The work was prepared by an Indian trained in a Franciscan religious house in Mexico and was dated 1552, shortly After the conguest by Cortez and the | beginning of the Spanish infiltration of, the former Aztec Empire. The strange civilization which Cortez found among the people of Montesuma. comparable in some respects to that of Europe, evidently had an established medicine of its own, quite aside from the magic which was practiced in com- mon with all primitive peoples. The pharmacopeia was unrecorded, however, #nd the Indian, Joannes Sadianus, ev dently tried to put it on record from the | verbal accounts of the native doctors and the popular home remedies d scribed by the. people. Valuable Drawings. The idiomatic Latin will be difficult] to translate and probably will reveai nothing of real medical value for which bagter substitutes have not been evolved. The drawings, however, are 30 clear and detailed that they may be com- pared with later records of Mexican flora and valuable information obtained as to what was growing at the time of the invasion by. Corte: H One item is thus described by Mr. Clark: . Quauhtla xoxocoyolin, with. two morning glory: flowers and four stems, each crowned with a leaf in the form of & cross with Tour equal arms, all from a thick, bulbous root. The Latin description has been translated as follows: “Medicine which when ' dried produce saliva causes saliva to Tow and checks too great thirst. Thirst can be prevented by use of certain grasses which have oil and vinegar mixed with # male Indian dove.” The use of the male dove, whose flesh presumably was ground up in the mix- ture, probably was a survival of the Astec magic practices with a bontanical product which’may have had real effi- cacy for persons caught far away from water in the dry Mexican countryside. ‘The existence -of this manuscript has been known for & long time and search made for it by Vatican -scholars, be- cause of some unsatisfactory reproduc- tions made many years ago. Compa) son with the original shows these re- productions to have been very stilted and inaccurate. Mr. Clark’s success came largely as an accident after the failure of other searchers. Light on Native Cultures. An immense amount of material bear- #ng on early New World history remains to be recovered, he reports to the Smithsonian, not only {rom the Vati- can library, but from ether manuscript | deposits in Spain and Italy, and much of this may be expected to throw new light on the Spanish settlements and the conflicts which arose between Eu- ropean and native cultures.
