Notes: Primarily in Guarani except for section headings in Spanish and Latin. Begins with brief doctrinal and devotional texts (Sign of the Cross, Pater Noster, Ave Maria, Credo, Alabado, etc., p. 1-13, 2nd count). Following are: “Tratado 1. Del simbolo de la Fe” (p. 14-152, 2nd count); “En gracia de algunos que lo han pedido uá aqui toda la historia de la Passion en forma de sermon” (p. [1-22], 3rd count); “Tratado segundo” (p. 1-228, 4th count), including, as part of Doctrina XXV, “Sponsalia et impedimenta”, a bilingual section listing kinship terms in Guarani with Spanish glosses in parallel columns (“Tabula graduum consanguinitatis in quibus solum est impedimentum matrimonij indorum ex bulla Pauli iij”, p. 106-119, 4th count); “Catechismo que el Concilio Limense mando se hiziesse para los niños. Explicado en lengua guarani por los primeros padres” (p. 1-5, 5th count); and “Breve explicacion de los articulos mas principales del cathecismo limense” by Nicholas Yapuguay (p. 5-55, 5th count). “Por Nicolas Yapuguai con direccion del P. Paolo Restivo de la Compañia de Jesus” (t.p.). Medina and Fúrlong Cardiff disagree as to whether the “Catechismo que el Concilio Limense mando” together with the “Breve explicacion de los articulos” by Nicholas Yapuguay (p. 1-55, 5th count) constitute a separate imprint or was issued with the “Explicacion de el catechismo en lengua guarani”. The only known copies of “Catechismo que el Concilio Limense mando” and the “Breve explicacion” are bound with the “Explicacion de el catechismo en lengua guarani” after Part 3, “Tratado segundo Doctrina 1”, but not all copies of the “Explicacion de el catechismo en lengua guarani” include the two additional texts found here.
