The Psalmodia christiana (Christian Psalmody) of 1583, apparently recorded by the friar Bernardino de Sahagún, includes many songs in Nahuatl that relate to feast days in the Christian calendar. Another psalmody of the sixteenth century, in Mexico, was a Christian song published in Mixtec doctrinal materials in 1568, which makes it earlier than Sahagún's psalmody.
