Relation des missions des PP. de la Compagnie de Iesus dans les isles & dans la terre ferme de l'Amerique Meridionale. Divisée en deux parties. Avec une introduction à la langue des Galibis Sauvages de la terre ferme de l'Amerique

1655réf. 5394Paris: Chez S. Cramoisy & G. Cramoisy 1655. SOLE EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. A fine copy in its original binding of 17th c. mottled French calf spine gilt and with red morocco label minor wear to the spine. Fine and fresh with just the occasional small rust spot. Engraved arms of the dedicatee Nicolas Fouquet on the second leaf. First edition of this rare relation describing the Jesuit missions in the Caribbean and on the South American mainland providing one of the earliest systematic accounts of the Lesser Antilles and Guiana. Much of the book is based on the author's firsthand experiences. He describes the foundation of churches the conversion of enslaved Africans and Indigenous nations Indigenous culture the moral and physical trials of evangelization and the natural history of the islands and mainland. Of special importance is the third part of the work: the author's grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language one of the earliest printed studies of a South American Indigenous language. Pelleprat explains the purpose of understanding Galibi: "I have composed a small grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language so that our Fathers who shall come after me may speak to these peoples in their own words and more easily win their souls to God." In 1651 Pierre Pelleprat was sent from France to the Antilles joining Fathers Denys Mesland François Gueymeu and Guillaume Aubergeon. The Jesuits served the indigenous Amerindians enslaved Africans and Irish and French settlers. Two years later Pelleprat and Mesland sailed for the mainland where they established a mission on the Guarapiche River near the Gulf of Paria. After Mesland's departure was Pelleprat remained alone continuing his missionary work and studying the local language. Illness forced him to return to the islands in 1654. He petitioned to return to Europe but was denied and instead lived out the remainder of his life in Mexico dying at Puebla de los Angeles in 1667. The preface outlines the establishment of the Jesuit mission in the French Caribbean following the founding of Martinique and Guadeloupe in 1635. Pelleprat recounts the arrival of the Jesuits and their efforts to learn the native languages in order to communicate doctrine record confessions and translate prayers. His descriptions of the climate geography and local governance of the islands are accompanied by remarks on Indigenous customs domestic life and religious beliefs. Pelleprat portrays the Indigenous inhabitants with clarity and sympathy. They are "without guile or malice. and capable of every good doctrine. They are neither cruel nor treacherous as some have claimed; rather they are generous and easily moved to affection when treated with kindness." He notes the Galibis skill in painting and weaving: "They take great care in painting their bodies and in making their cotton cloths which they dye with beautiful colors." The author records local fishing and hunting practices the use of pirogues canoes along the coasts and the construction of dwellings raised above ground: "They live by fish and roots in houses built upon poles to guard against the waters and the reptiles." He marvels at the beauty and richness of South America: its landscape flora and fauna: "the trees of these islands bear fruit twice a year and the soil is so rich that it needs only to be turned over to yield harvests beyond expectation". The Galibi Language Pelleprat's introduction to the Galibi language is one of the earliest printed attempts to describe and translate a South American Indigenous language. He explains the purpose of understanding Galibi: "I have composed a small grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language so that our Fathers who shall come after me may speak to these peoples in their own words and more easily win their souls to God." Pelleprat opens by justifying his study as a means to conversion writing that "the barbarous nations. are so docile and so well disposed to receive the Gospel that they await only its preaching." His goal is not philological in the modern sense but practical: to prepare future missionaries to communicate Christian doctrine. Even so his careful observations show an emerging recognition of linguistic structure. He notes that "this language has its own rules its order and its way of composing words" an acknowledgment that Amerindian languages were coherent systems rather than the "corrupted" or "primitive" speech often imagined by Europeans. The Introduction proceeds systematically identifying letters pronunciation and basic grammar before offering a brief bilingual vocabulary. Pelleprat outlines nouns pronouns and verb forms and includes everyday expressions drawn from conversation. The vocabulary reveals the priorities of the missionary encounter pairing religious and material terms: "God" and "Devil" "soul" "heaven" and "earth" alongside "river" "house" and "friend." Through such juxtapositions the work translates the Christian world into the idiom of local experience. Pelleprat also recognizes the limits of his own learning admitting that he "has gathered what he could learn from the natives themselves" and that the book is only a "first attempt." The Islands of America Pelleprat opens with the Jesuits' first arrival at Martinique and he describes the founding of chapels the teaching of catechism and the first baptisms. When the mission expanded to Guadeloupe and Saint Christopher St Kitts he wrote: "we carried with us neither gold nor silver but the Cross of Christ and a heart desirous only to win souls. With this we founded our first church on the edge of the sea the waves serving us for organ and bells." p. 17 Pelleprat relates the successful conversion of enslaved Africans: "for although they have been reared in brutishness many become so chaste and honest when they are Christians that they would rather die than commit the least indecency." p. 33 Irish Catholics who had been exiled by the English sought out the Jesuits for Mass and confession and Pelleprat recounts the secret ministry carried out among them and the extraordinary virtue of an Irish girl raised in disguise to preserve her chastity. "I cannot omit the victory that a young Irish girl won over the weakness of her sex. This girl had come very young to America and her father to protect her had disguised her and raised her in the dress of a boy." pp. 49-50 Pelleprat explains how conversion altered conduct during epidemics and famine and the devoutness of the newly converted: "In the time of pestilence when even the air seemed to breathe death our new Christians came in great numbers to confession and communion choosing rather to die reconciled to God than to live without His grace." p. 47 The Mainland of South America The second section records numerous observations on the geography and natural history of Guiana: "I saw serpents with wings like bats and fish that fly above the water; trees whose leaves close at night as if they slept and others that exude milk when cut." p. 88 "The rivers here are broader than many seas their waters dark as ink under the forest's shadow. The land breathes a perpetual spring; trees bear fruit without ceasing and the air is so temperate that one would think Nature had chosen this region for her rest." p. 60 Pelleprat records the manners dwellings and ceremonies of the Guianese nations: "They are of good stature well-formed their countenance open and agreeable. Their huts are made of palm leaves their hammocks of woven cotton their vessels of baked clay painted with strange figures . . . When we entered their villages they offered us cassava bread and the drink of their country pressing us to sit in their hammocks which they esteem as the greatest courtesy." p. 67-69 Chapter VI outlines the political and moral order of Indigenous societies. Government Pelleprat notes is communal and tempered by reason: "Their government is gentle; they obey the oldest or the bravest and all decisions are taken in council with much shouting but little injustice." p. 92 "When one dies they burn his hammock and his weapons believing that he will find them again beyond the river of souls." p. 93.

Puerto Rican Elementary School Photo Archive of Class Portraits ca. 1940s-1961

1940réf. 222371940. Puerto Rico Education Industrial era Puerto Rico elementary school class photo archive. Three vintage silver gelatin black-and-white photographs each mounted on photo studio original boards with decorative borders. Two are early prints circa 1940s; the third is dated 1961. Each measure about 7" x 9". This evocative trio of Puerto Rican school photographs captures diverse elementary-age students posed in front of their local schools documenting a pivotal era of transformation in the island's social and educational landscape. One of the earlier cabinet cards features a group of students seated outdoors with a teacher or administrator standing behind them; the setting includes neoclassical columns and a colonial street with visible signage. Another card marked "Escuela No. 29" shows a racially integrated group of students with the school's flag held at the center of the image. The final print dated 1961-declared "Año de la Educación" Year of Education in the printed caption-presents a classroom posed beneath a prominently displayed Puerto Rican flag reflecting both a growing sense of national identity and post-war political shifts toward public investment in education. These photographs span a transformative period in Puerto Rico's 20th-century history as the island transitioned from an agricultural economy to a more industrialized state-supported system under Operation Bootstrap Operación Manos a la Obra. Begun in the late 1940s and accelerated through the 1950s and early 1960s the program prioritized urban development mass education and labor force modernization. The 1961 card framed by official state messaging reflects this emphasis-part of Governor Luis Muñoz Marín's vision of expanding universal literacy and integrating Puerto Rican youth into a skilled industrial economy. At the same time these images document the continued presence of racial and class diversity within public schools signaling the layered complexities of colonial modernity and U.S. influence on the island's educational and political systems. Mild surface soiling and edge wear to the mounts with light silvering to the gelatin surfaces of the two older prints. Overall very good condition. A rare and compelling visual record of Puerto Rican childhood education and racial integration during a formative mid-century era of political and economic redefinition. unknown books
