Pedro Marbán, Arte de la lengua moxa (Lima, licensed December 1701)

The first printed description of an Amazonian language of the Bolivian lowlands, licensed at Lima in December 1701 and printed there with a vocabulary, a catechism and a confessionary bound in. Its opening chapter records what Latin grammar could not hold: a sound system missing four Spanish letters, an aspiration that distinguishes words, nouns with no gender and no case, and possession carried by prefixes that the grammarian describes exactly and then apologises for.
