Doctrina Christiana written in 1593 by Fray Juan de Plasencia, and is believed to be one of the earliest printed
books in the Philippines.
Printed by a Chinese printer in
Manila under the auspices of
Dominican clergy, both in the
Spanish, Tagalog languages and
baybayin, the “Doctrina”
embodies the meeting of
cultures, worldviews,
technologies, and languages.

The only known extant copy in

the world can be found in the
Lessing J. Rosenwald
Collection in the Rare Book
and Special Collections
Division of the Library of
Congress. Washington, DC
