The printing press of the Guaraní missions (Paraguay, 1721–1727)

Books printed not in a viceregal capital but in Indian towns: a ritual manual "Laureti typis" in 1721, Montoya's Guaraní grammar reissued at Santa María la Mayor in 1724, and two devotional works whose title pages name a Guaraní author, Nicolás Yapuguay. The standard bibliography records all of them — and also states flatly that a Jesuit wrote the Yapuguay books and hid behind the name. Both the imprints and that verdict are on the record here.
