Aftermath PhD student Jaime Gonzalez has published a new article: “Two Unpublished Letters on the Jesuit Mission Press in Late Sixteenth-Century Japan” East Asian Publishing and Society, 13 (2023), 37–46, DOI:10.1163/22106286-12341370.
Abstract
This article presents a few unpublished notes, included in two different Jesuit letters, which provide new details about the Jesuit Mission Press in late sixteenth-century Japan. Information about the problems that the Jesuits faced in the internal administration of the printing press and the tools that they employed to run it can be found in these notes, which may be useful for those interested in the Jesuit Mission Press, and
in general, in the history of book-production in Japan.
