Abstract: Levesque reviews extracts from Fr. Francisco Garcia's first printed biography of Fr. Diego Luis de Sanvitores and history of the Marianas through 1681, adding editorial comments and corrections. The entry treats Garcia's book as a secondary source based largely on Jesuit annual reports and covers Sanvitores' life, mission planning, voyage to Guam, early evangelization, baptism and catechism work, population claims, Chamorro language and customs, mission schools, conflicts, and subsequent events through 1681.
