Abstract Grammar of Nahuatl, mainly orthography/phonetics and morphology (morphosyntax). The grammar ends abruptly. No chapters on the indeclinable parts of speech, and no chapters on syntax, “mexicanismos” and no religious texts are included. It is not only a descriptive grammar, since the author includes discussions, different opinions, and he usually mentions his sources which gives this work a more “pre-modern” scientific approach, characteristic for the second half of the 18th century Enlightenment.
