José Francisco Sánchez Labrador (1717–1798) was one of the most prolific Jesuit authors of his time in South America. However, his magnum opus, a comprehensive three-part encyclopaedic description of Gran Paraguay, has never been printed in its entirety. Now, a DFG-funded project is examining the third part of the trilogy: the manuscript Paraguay Cultivado.
