Abstract

We would like to characterize the book Insignes misioneros de la Compañía de Jesús written by Francisco Xarque and published in 1687, as an example of imposing the “counterreform way of reading” in a “discursive form” widely used by the Jesuits: the relation. Our hypothesis is that Francisco Xarque intended to “inform” readers, in the sense of giving form to them or even better edifying them. He doens’t want to give a simple account of the missionaries work. His objective was, through the relation of the missions, to forge the unity of Church's moral teaching, in a moment of intense debates on this subject.
