About the book
The fullest Maguindanaon dictionary, by an Oblate missionary at Notre Dame University in Cotabato City.
Robert E. Sullivan, an Oblate of Mary Immaculate priest, compiled this 2-way dictionary of Maguindanaon, with one part from Maguindanaon to English and one from English to Maguindanaon. The Institute of Cotabato Cultures at Notre Dame University in Cotabato City published it in 1986, in 545 large-format pages.
Besides the word lists, the front of the book carries short guides to the language by other linguists. Eric Fleischman wrote "The Maguindanaon alphabet" and a 20-page account of how Maguindanaon verbs are inflected. Ronald Moe added "How to find verb roots", to help users look up verbs.
Later work leans on it. Ruth Stickney's Maguindanao Grammar Supplement of 2009 cites its chapters, and the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database takes its Maguindanaon word list from it.
