Pedro de San Buenaventura


Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala is the first dictionary of the main language of the PhilippinesTagalog.

The first dictionary of the Tagalog language was written by franciscan friar Pedro de Buenaventura and published in Pila in 1613. He most probably used the Vocabulario Tagalo left by fray Juan de Plasencia.

Further compilation of his substantial work was prepared by P. Juan de Noceda and P. Pedro de Sanlucar and published as Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala in Manila in 1754 and then repeatedly reedited with the last edition being in 2013 in Manila.
