He was received into the Society of Jesus in 1732 and afterwards spent 38 years as a missionary, first in Paraguay and Tucuman and then from 1740 among the native tribes between the Rio de la Plata and the Strait of Magellan. Biography taken from Lawrence Wroth's penciled note on end paper. Creator taken from the part of map depicted in 31195-2.
