Testerian is a pictorial writing system that was used until the 19th century to teach Christian doctrine to the indigenous peoples of Mexico, who were unfamiliar with alphabetic writing systems. The invention of Testerian catechisms is attributed to Jacobo de Testera, a Franciscan who arrived in Mexico in 1529.
