Timucua in print — the Florida books of Francisco Pareja (1612-1627)

Between 1612 and 1627 the presses of Mexico City printed catechisms, two confessionals, a grammar and a catechism for communicants in Timucua, the language of northern Florida, written by the Franciscan Francisco Pareja. Two independent bibliographies, one Spanish and one compiled in New York, record them. The licence quotes Pareja's own account of sixteen years of work, and the approbations were signed in the Florida mission houses.
