Abstract

In this paper we analyze the sources of the irst two editions of Esteve Materra’s Doctrina christiana. Materra’s doctrine was the irst catechism published in Labourd during the Counter-Reformation, and the recent discovery of a copy of the irst edition has brought new information on the author and his work. After having analyzed and compared several catechisms published in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, we have arguments to propose that the main source were the works of the Italian Roberto Bellarmino. The comparisons presented here show that Materra used and adapted Bellarmino’s books, which shed light on the creation process of the precursor of Labourdin literature.
