Entre los jesuitas del Gran Chaco. Compilación de Joaquín Camaño S. J. y otras fuentes documentales del S. XVIII , whose authorship is an edition prepared by: Ernesto Maeder (†), María Laura Salinas, Julio Folkenand and José Braunstein, printed by the Buenos Aires Academy of Sciences, consisting 624 pages including annexes and maps, was published in 2018. Anyone could suspect that it is a transcription of sources, annotation and critical studies, but it is not only that. It is a continuum of scientific tradition that questions what the expelled jesuit, born in La Rioja, called Joaquín Camaño y Bazán SJ († 1820) wrote, in addition to what Guillermo Furlong Cardiff SJ († 1974) disseminated, which is reaffirmed in the production of Dr. Ernesto Maeder († 1820). All of the aforementioned committed to a collective construction of knowledge about peoples, their languages, their histories, georeferenced in this part of Latin America that lies between the southern Amazon and northern southern Patagonia. In synthesis, it is a book of sources of the “Missions” of the Gran Chaco and the most finished and erudite scientific commentaries presented for both, specialist readers, and those who incursion in the historization of the knowledge community.
