Abstract

Analysis and evaluation of the image of colonial expansion of Spain, presented in the corpus of original documentation produced by the Bohemian, Moravian and Silesan Jesuits in America and the Pacific. It was studied how the Centro-European Jesuits reflected in their letters and other printed and manuscript texts the colonial reality, the "micro-space" of tehir own missions on the one hand and of the colonial Spanish system in general, the methods of the Spanish Crown in conquering the territories and their inhabitants.
