Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliography of the Philippine Islands, Printed and Manuscript: Preceded by a Descriptive Account of the Most Important Archives and Collections Containing Philippina For a study of the early history of printing in the Philippines, and its de velopment, the reader will find useful matter in Medina's I mpmua 111 M1 m'la (santiago de Chile, and in Retana's Imprmta (madrid, Introduction, col. 5-5o. See also the rules of printing as published by the latter in vol. I of his Archivo. Thae rules were promulgated in Manila, February 16, 1857. It seems reasonably clear that the printing press was established in the Philippines as early as 1593, for in that year, Gomez Perez Dasmarifias licensed the printing of the Christian Doctrine in Tagi log and Chinese (see his letter of june 20, 1593, in our 701. Lx, 9. Although no copies of this have come down to the present day. It must be noted, however, that from the language of the letter above cited, it may be assumed that the printing press had been established before the year 1593. However, the implied reasoning of Peru and Giiernes (4411501111, pp. Ni xxiv) following the statement of Berimin de Sousa, that the Am y Vocabu lario de la league tagala of Juan de Quii'iones was printed at Manila in 1581, cannot be supported. The real history of printing in the Philippines, in which it seems that the religious orders had more to do than anyone else, has not yet been written, although it is worth careful study.
