1731‐87
A Jesuit from Veracruz, Mexico. After studying at a school run by the Jesuits, he joined the Jesuits and taught literature and philosophy at the San Ildefonso College in Mexico City. As a result of the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767, he traveled to Italy and settled in Bologna, where he wrote "Ancient History of Mexico" (1780-81, published in Italian). In philosophy, he was familiar with Descartes and Leibniz, and is considered one of the intellectual pioneers of Mexican independence. [Kobayashi Kazuhiro]

1731‐87
メキシコのベラクルス出身のイエズス会士。イエズス会経営の学校に学んだ後，同会に入会，メキシコ市のサン･イルデフォンソ学院で文学と哲学を講じた。1767年のイエズス会士追放令の結果，イタリアに渡ってボローニャに落ち着き，《メキシコ古代史》を上梓した(1780‐81，イタリア語で刊行)。哲学ではデカルトやライプニッツに通じる一方，メキシコ独立の知的先駆者の一人と評される。【小林一宏】
