Some of our more complex, multi-field searches (such as the search field on our homepage and Search All Fields) are currently under repair and may not work as expected.
Thank you to all our users who emailed to alert us to the problem! We hope to have it repaired soon.

(a loanword from Spanish)
a breviary, a book containing the service for each day, to be recited by the clergy in the Catholic Church (see attestations)
See an image that represents breviario in the Visual Lexicon of Aztec Hieroglyphs, ed. Stephanie Wood (Eugene, Ore.: Wired Humanities, 2020-present).
The Codex Sierra-Texupan has a glyph of a brevario and uses that loanword: "ce brevario vey monequi teopan chiquacen pesos." = "6 pesos for a large breviary needed at the church." (Santa Catalina Texupan, Oaxaca, 1558)
Some annals from the Tlaxcala-Puebla valley note (in Nahuatl) that the "misas breviario tabla" loanword string "began to appear for the first time" in 1574. Another set of annals concurs that the brevario began circulating in 1574.
