Much like Alonso de Molina’s dictionary of the Nautatl language, Gilberti developed this vocabulary of the Purépecha language to facilitate missionary work. Purépecha, also known as Tarascan, was a language spoken exclusively in the Michoacán area of Mexico. The Purépecha empire was a contemporary rival of the Aztecs, with a distinct culture and language.
