	Exercicio Quotidiano The ''Exercicio quotidiano'' ( older Spanish for "daily exercise"; modern spelling ''Ejercicio cotidiano'', ) is a Nahuatl-language Christian religious manuscript, consisting of daily meditations with Latin passages taken from the New Testament. The manuscript was originally composed in 1574, and is attributed to the Franciscan missionary Bernardino de Sahagún. However, it is unlikely that he wrote it personally, as by this time he had hand tremors that made it difficult for him to write. The extant manuscript of the ''Exercicio'', currently in the Newberry Library, Chicago, Illinois, is not the original but a copy made by the 17th century Nahua scribe Chimalpahin, who may have altered the text somewhat.Schroeder (1997): pp. 8–9.

Anderson Arthur James Outram Anderson (November 26, 1907 – June 3, 1996) was an American anthropologist specializing in Aztec culture and translator of the Nahuatl ...
