Although Schilling, p. 208, says that Hervas had a copy of the 1593 Doctrina before him, which “had been lent or given” by Bernardo de la Fuente, Hervas merely says that he took his information “from the best documents, which showed the grammar; and the Tagalog and Visayan dictionary were given me by Messrs. D. Antonio Tornos and D. Bernardo de la Fuente.” There is no doubt, however, but that Hervas had a copy of the Doctrina, or accurate and extensive transcripts from a copy known to one of his friends.

[34] San Agustin, p. 352. On pp. 443–4 referring to Grijalva and Herrera, he says merely that Quiñones “was very learned in the Tagalog language, and wrote a grammar and dictionary of it.”
[35] “He succeeded in learning that language with such perfection that he composed a treatise, as a light and guide for the new missionaries, and a vocabulary, with which in a short time they could instruct those islanders in the mysteries of the faith,” Medina, p. xxvii, assumed that this referred to José Sicardo, La Cristiandad del Japon, Madrid, 1698, where he could find nothing about Quiñones, but Beristain cited specifically his Historias de Filipinas y Japon, which Santiago Vela, VI, p. 441, thinks must be his additions to Grijalva, including a life of Quiñones, which San Agustin used and quoted from. The quotation here is from San Agustin, p. 442, where Sicardo is given as the source.
