DIAZ PIEDRAHITA, Santiago. UN CURIOSO MANUSCRITO ETNOGRÁFICO. Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. [online]. 2013, vol.37, n.143, pp.159-176. ISSN 0370-3908.
The manuscript entitled Indian Antiques, which includes an anonymous Ethnological Dictionary of Colombia, is transcribed and commented. The text contains information about eleven tribes or indigenous groups known as: Caberres, Caribes, Chocoes, Caparras, Catíos, Culimas, Coconucos, Chiricoas, Conchas, Correguajes and Cunas. It also includes some notes entitled: Annotations on Caribbean Language, written by a former missionary of the Orinoco whose name remains unknown, as the first few pages of this important manuscript are missing. Due to its characteristics, these texts were written in the nineteenth century.
Keywords : Ethnography; anthropology; Colombia.
