| Sumario: | The aim here is to present a transcription of the first chapter of an anonymous manuscript catechism in both Língua Geral and, partially, in Latin, which was very probably composed by one of the German-speaking Jesuits that worked in the Amazon region in the mid-18th century. This chapter deals with the matters of the name “Christian” and the practice of the sign of the cross. The transcription is accompanied by notes on the translation into Portuguese, and is prefaced by the presentation of hypotheses concerning the author of the catechism, the historical context of its production, and the linguistic situation of the missions of Grão-Pará in the 1700s. |
