A presente obra é fruto de longa e árdua pesquisa realizada pelos autores sobre os pioneiros que colonizaram o sudoeste do estado de Goiás e parte do estado de Mato Grosso, na metade do século XIX. Do estado de Minas Gerais, vieram para Goías os pioneiros José Manoel Vilela, José Antônio de Carvalho e Serafim José de Barros. De Franca, São Paulo, veio José Carvalho Bastos, juntando-se aos mineiros com o objetivo de criar gado nas pastagens naturais, ainda inexploradas, além do Rio Paranaíba.

When the first European missionaries arrived on other continents, it was decided that the indigenous languages would be used as the means of christianization. There emerged the need to produce grammars and dictionaries of those languages. The study of this linguistic material has so far not received sufficient attention in the field of linguistic historiography. This volume is the first published collection of papers on missionary linguistics world-wide; it represents the insights of recent research, containing an introduction and papers on methodology, meta-historiography, the historical and cultural background. The book contains studies about early-modern linguistic works written in Spanish, Portuguese, English and French, describing among others indigenous languages from North America and Australia, Maya, Quechua, Xhosa, Japanese, Kapampangan, and Visaya. Topics dealt with include: innovations of individual missionaries in lexicography, grammatical analysis, phonology, morphology, or syntax; creativity in descriptive techniques; differences and/or similarities of works from different continents, and different religious backgrounds (Catholic or Protestant).
