Medan, Diego imprenta jesuítica marginalia guaraníes colecciones privadas circulación del libro Jesuit mission press guaraní marginalia private collections book circulation Among the editions from the Jesuit mission press, the Explicacion de el catechismo... by Nicolás Yapuguay (Santa María la Mayor, 1724) is known from a limited number of copies over the world. This paper describes and illustrates a recently discovered exemplary, which originally belonged to the bibliophile Pedro N. Arata. A comparison among all surviving copies reveals differences in the number and completeness of the parts they are made of, the presence of a pagination failure in the third part, the level and quality of restoration they underwent, their property marks, and the presence of marginalia. The frequent lack of the catechism text (part IV) suggests that the Explicacion originally circulated in both complete and incomplete versions, perhaps to meet different needs of the intended users. In the past, private collectors played an important role in the rescue and preservation of copies of this work, which presently are mostly kept at non-ecclesiastical public collections. Guaraní marginalia, which abound in the Arata copy but also occur on other three, suggest that some exemplaries remained for long time within guaraní communities due to their value for catechesis.

Entre las ediciones de la prensa misional jesuítica se encuentra la Explicaciondeelcatechismo... deNicolásYapuguay (Santa María la Mayor, 1724), obra de la que se conocen muy pocos ejemplares en el mundo. El artículo describe e ilustra una copia recién descubierta, que originalmente perteneció al bibliófilo Pedro N. Arata, e incluye una comparación con las otras conocidas hasta ahora. Los ejemplares difieren considerablemente en el número y nivel de integridad de sus partes constitutivas, la presencia de un fallo de paginación en la tercera parte, el nivel y calidad de restauración de que han sido objeto, sus marcas de propiedad, y la presencia de marginalia. La frecuente ausencia del texto del catecismo (parte IV) permite conjeturar que la Explicacion circuló desde el principio en versiones más y menos completas, quizás en respuesta a disímiles necesidades de sus destinatarios. En el pasado los coleccionistas privados cumplieron un rol importante en el rescate y preservación de ejemplaresde esta obra, que hoy se encuentran en su mayoría en repositorios públicos laicos. Las marginalia en guaraní, abundantes en la copia Arata pero presentes al menos en otras tres, sugieren que algunos ejemplares permanecieron largo tiempo en el seno de comunidades de hablantes de esa lengua debido al valor de uso catequístico del libro. Esto explicaría el alto nivel de supervivencia de esta obra, de la que sobreviven 15 ejemplares de la edición original, cuya magnitud se ha estimado en 30 a 40 copias.

Among the editions from the Jesuit mission press, the Explicacion de el catechismo... by Nicolás Yapuguay (Santa María la Mayor, 1724) is known from a limited number of copies over the world. This paper describes and illustrates a recently discovered exemplary, which originally belonged to the bibliophile Pedro N. Arata. A comparison among all surviving copies reveals differences in the number and completeness of the parts they are made of, the presence of a pagination failure in the third part, the level and quality of restoration they underwent, their property marks, and the presence of marginalia.
