Zueco de San Joaquín, Ramón (1828-1889) Metodo del Dr. Ollendorff para Aprender a Leer, Hablar y Escribir un Idioma Cualquiera Adaptado al Bisaya. Quarto, two parts in one volume, bound in contemporary half parchment with patterned paper boards, titled on spine, 8 x 6 in. Manila: Ramirez y Giraudier, 1871.
First Manila edition of this grammatical work adapted by Zueco for the Bisayan or Visayan languages, a subgroup of the Austronesian languages spoken in the Philippines. Zueco was born in Spain and served as a priest in the Philippines. Heinrich Gottfried Ollendorff's (1803-1865) modern approach to foreign language instruction, very popular in the mid-19th century, drew heavily on the pioneering work of Jean Manesca.
