The author corrects in this work what he considers to be the mistakes of Emmanuel Schelstrate and Hardouin, and offers a proof that the native tongue of Christ and the Apostles was Syriac, not Greek, as Dominicus Diodati (d 1801) had maintained in his De Christo loquente exercitatio (Naples, 1767).

Father Caballero shows his scriptural knowledge in his Tetraglotton Doctorate. Marei Evangelium, et Marcologia critica. And El Evangelio de South. Marcos escrito en latin, griego y hebreo, con los tres alfabetos.
Not to mention several historical works, we may add here his writings on American subjects: Observaciones americanas, y supplemento critico á la historia de México.
Medios para estrechar más la union entre espanoles americanos y europeos. And Consideraciones americanas. The exact date of his death is uncertain, but it is believed he died at Rome on either January 16, 1830 or April 28, 1829.
