Abstract: This document describes the first published biography devoted to Fr. Luis Medina, printed in Madrid in 1673 and based largely on letters from Sanvitores and other early mission sources. Levesque notes that Garcia acted more as editor than original author and reproduces extracts that preserve otherwise lost letters by Medina. It is an important early biographical source for the history and memorialization of the Mariana mission.
