Guzmán, fr. Pantaleón de (¿1652?-¿1708 o 1709?)
Record details
Vida
Pocos son los datos que conocemos de la vida del franciscano fray Pantaleón de Guzmán. Debió nacer en torno a 1652 y, unos años después, en 1671, tomó el hábito de San Francisco y comenzó sus estudios de filosofía y teología. En 1675 recibió las órdenes menores y en 1698 fue nombrado Procurador General de Provincia de la Orden de San Francisco. A comienzos de la nueva centuria, Guzmán fue destinado como cura doctrinero a Santa María de Jesús Paché, a donde llegó después de haber pasado por San Juan de Alotenango y San Antonio Nejapa, poblaciones muy cercanas a la capital de Guatemala. Debió morir en 1708 o 1709 en San Juan Bautista Comalapa, municipio guatemalteco en el que era vicario.
Pantaleón de Guzmán es autor de un Compendio de nombres en lengua cakchiquel (finalizado en 1704), un volumen bilingüe español-cakchiquel que reúne en sus páginas, además de varias oraciones y textos cristianos, una nomenclatura, esto es, un repertorio léxico temático que organiza el vocabulario en ámbitos designativos como nombres de plantas, de animales, de enfermedades, partes del cuerpo humano o nombres de parentesco. En 1984 René Acuña publicó una edición facsímil del Compendio.
