Gaspar Antonio Chi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaspar Antonio de Herrera Chi (c. 15321610) was a Maya noble of Mani. Gaspar Antonio was of the Chi chibal (lineage) through his father and the Xiu chibal through his mother. He worked primarily as a translator between Spanish and Maya, and is thought to have been an important source of information for Diego de Landa in writing his Relación de las cosas de Yucatán.
