1794ABC_47826Paraguay and/or Brazil 1794. 34 x 22 cm. Stitched through 2 single holes only one remains intact. Written in brown ink in a very legible late 18th-century cursive. 1 1 blank 12 2 blank pp. A contemporary unpublished and unrecorded Portuguese manuscript describing the Paraguay River and the lands rivers and territories adjoining including the location of former Jesuit Missions. It is written within the context of the Portuguese-Spanish dispute over the frontier between Portuguese Brazil and the Spanish colonies and focuses in particular on the upper reaches of the river which at that time still remained relatively unknown. The Portuguese under the governorship of Luis de Albuquerque 1739-97 had recently in 1778 established the towns of Albuquerque today Corumbá Laredo Villa María today Cáceres Casalvasco and Salinas. These new establishments and their locations on the Paraguay River are mentioned here. The terms of the 1777 Treaty of San Ildefonso between Portugal and Spain directed that a Portuguese-Spanish delegation be sent to the Paraguay River region to determine a definitive border between the territories. The Spanish delegation arrived in 1781 under the command of the military officer and naturalist Félix Manuel de Azara 1746-1821 and waited in Asunción in Paraguay for the Portuguese. The latter in the end never arrived but the Spanish delegation remained in the region until the 1790s Azara until 1801 exploring and measuring the region as well as handling the ongoing disagreements with the Portuguese over the demarcation. This Portuguese description of the River Paraguay is undoubtedly connected to these ventures though whether it is a contemporary translation into Portuguese of a Spanish survey or a survey of the river carried out by the Portuguese themselves is uncertain. It is however the only known copy of an unpublished description of the River Paraguay and it describes in detail the little-known upper regions of the Paraguay River.With a crossed-out annotation on the title-page the title-page and the last blank leaf are somewhat water stained. The paper is otherwise uniformly toned and showing some occasional foxing the edges of the leaves are somewhat frayed slightly affecting the text at the head of each page. Overall in good condition. unknown
1756ABC_48388Saint Paul = São Paulo but the work was likely printed somewhere in Western Europe 1756. 8vo. Contemporary brown paste paper wrappers with a manuscript title label mounted at the head of the spine and a shelf mark label at the foot in a protective clear plastic sleeve. With a typographical ornament on the title-page. 88 pp. First or second edition of a rare biography of the mythical Spaniard Nicolas Rubiuni 1710- the "first king of Paraguay" and "emperor of the Mamelukes Mamelucos of São Paulo". It was the first time that the Bandeirantes settlers of Pirintinga served as the theme for a novel. This curious work is sometimes considered to be an anti-Jesuit publication but Borba de Moraes argues that it should simply be seen as a work of fiction instead. The first two editions of this novel were both published in 1756 and it is therefore unclear which is the first. However the present edition appears to be the most rare of the two as we have only been able to find it in two sales records of the past 100 years.The myth of Nicolas Rubiuni is said to have been created by Marquis Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo 1699-1782 chief minister to the Portuguese king to undermine the Jesuits. When the Jesuits first arrived in Paraguay in 1588 their objective was to convert to local people the Guaraní to Christianity and to protect them from European colonists and slave traders. The Guaraní were threatened by the Bandeirantes from Brazil who tried to capture and enslave them to work on the sugar plantations. However armed by the Jesuits the Guaraní were able to defeat them in 1642 which ended to worst of the slave trade in the region. The involvement of the Jesuits inspired mixed feelings in Europe. They were painted as either romantic saviours or as exploiters who were using the Guaraní to create their own independent kingdom in Paraguay. The figure of Rubiuni was said to have stood up against the Jesuits and restore order in the region.According to Borba de Moraes the work demonstrates how closely the activities in the Americas were followed in Europe as the unknown author displays a wealth of knowledge about the missions the subjecting of Paraguay to Jesuit rule and the treatment of the Guaraní. The work must have been fairly popular in Europe as Italian German and Dutch translations were published shortly after the first French editions. With the bookplate of Carolus Franciscus S. R. J. Comes à Nefelrod mounted on the inside of the front wrapper. The edges and corners of the wrappers are somewhat scuffed with creasing and some loss of material on the spine including of the two paper labels mounted there making them difficult to read. With a wormhole on the front wrapper and first 3 leaves barely affecting the printed text. Otherwise in good condition.l Borba de Moraes I p. 404; Sabin 32020. unknown

Faded 18th c. exlibris on title “bibliotheca….†with a globe surmounted by a Greek cross. With a large folding map of Paraguay. Muratori’s book marked an important development in the historiography of Paraguay. Muratori offered a new approach to the subject distinct from the narratives of the Jesuits the skeptical approach of the Jansenists and those writers who filled their accounts with a mixture of adventure and romance. “Muratori was far from being a propagandist for the Society of Jesus: during the research for his “Cristianesimo felice†he was locked in violent argument with them and was not allowed to consult any of their archives. He had started off with the problem of understanding the Church's missionary activity among the newly-discovered peoples and found that the original evangelical impulse remained unaffected by political considerations in the case of Paraguay… “Muratori's work was… not apologetic in intention even though his attitude regarding the State of Paraguay turned out to be a positive one but it opened up another dimension in the debate. He placed Paraguay firmly in the context of human history. Although he did not share the conclusions of the Jansenists it is nevertheless easy to understand why the Jesuits did not look favorably on his work. He did not remove the sacred element in the Jesuit enterprise but he examined what human elements lay at its root. The Jesuits finding themselves in a world which Muratori described according to Lafitau's theory employed "utility . that great driving impulse of human hearts" to civilize the Indians. "Well-regulated freedom adequate provision for food clothing and lodging public quiet and individual tranquility are in my belief the real and solid elements which contribute to a people's happiness.†These "small republics" could "in a certain sense be called an immense number of monasteries where both the spiritual and practical affairs of the day are wonderfully well regulated and the upkeep of each is provided for." It followed that Paraguay was "far in advance of the conditions of many European peoples.â€Imbruglia The Jesuit Missions of Paraguay and a Cultural History of Utopia 1568–1789 p. 135 ff. The Reductions as a restorative: Muratori was aligned with Las Casas in his estimation of the cruelty and “European barbarism†of the Conquistadors who entered the New World “totally oblivious not only to the Gospel but also to being humanâ€. In the spirit of restitution Muratori offered the reductions of Paraguay as a model for restoring and improving the happiness of the Indians -who before the Conquest had been “simple without malice patient and peacefulâ€- through a benevolent Christianity. “The Indians of the riduzioni enjoyed greater freedom than all the other subjects of the kingdom of Spain as they had no obligations other than a small tax to which men only were subjected and military duties in case of need. In any case although Muratori praised the institution of collective property and the limitation of currency as guarantees of equality he never went so far as to fantasize utopias such as proposing the "Christian communistic" system of Paraguay as a possible model for European society. He confessed to "having fallen in love" with those missions insofar as they reminded him of "the primitive Church" and praised the admirable example of the missionaries who carried the cross among barbarians.â€Buccini “The Americas in Italian Literature and Culture 1700-1825 p. 6 ff.
