QR code
"Ars grammaticae Iaponicae linguae" by Diego Collado is a linguistic treatise written in the early 17th century. The work serves as a grammatical guide to the Japanese language, aimed primarily at missionaries and scholars involved in the propagation of Catholicism in Japan. It discusses the intricacies of Japanese grammar, including pronunciation, the formation of words, and the various grammatical constructions that define the language. At the start of the book, Collado introduces
the need for a comprehensive grammar of the Japanese language, noting the scarcity of thorough resources previously available. He emphasizes the significance of mastering the language for effective communication and evangelization, explaining various aspects of pronunciation and grammatical categories. The opening highlights the intent to refine and clarify the understanding of Japanese linguistics, juxtaposed with humility in presenting his insights to the learned community for further examination and improvement.
