IV
[Sidenote: Padre José Guevara]
Padre José Guevara succeeded Lozano as the official historian of the
province of Paraguay. He was a native of Spain, born at Recas in the
archbishopric of Toledo on March 19, 1719. On December 31, 1732, he
became a novice in the Society of Jesus, and two years later, April
25, 1734, he arrived at Buenos Aires. Almost immediately thereafter
he entered upon his studies at Córdoba, and for many years this city
continued to be the principal seat of his activity. In 1743 he was a
teacher of Latin, and the next year he became a lecturer on theology.
Eight years later he was appointed to the position that had been held by
Lozano as historian of the province. After a residence of thirty-three
years in America he was removed to Italy under the decree of 1767, by
which the Jesuits were expelled from Spain and the Spanish dependencies.
At first he established himself at Faenza, but subsequently he obtained
the post of canon at Spello, near Perugia. Guevara died at Spello on
February 23, 1806.
