Abstract

José Cardiel (1704-1782) wrote different books about Jesuit missions of the Province of Paraguay between 1747 and 1780. All of them are rewritings based on the same text. Therefore, we can use those texts to analyze alterations, eliminations and additions —i.e., corrections and rewritings— between them. Thus, we identify the changes in the politics of Jesuit writing in the last decades before the expulsion of the Society of Jesus from Hispanic territories (1767-1768) and the first years after that fact, i.e., probably the most critical period for Jesuits during the Early Modern Times.
