Sobre os “Hijos del Paraguay” e as “Personas naturales inteligentes”: uma análise dos relatos sobre saberes e práticas tradicionais indígenas no Paraguay Natural Ilustrado, de José Sánchez Labrador S. J. (1771-1776)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this article, we analyze the manuscript Paraguay Natural Ilustrado, written by Jesuit José Sánchez Labrador, between 1771 and 1776, during his exile in Ravenna, Italy. This work, whose original is at the Archivo Romanum Societatis Iesu, is divided in four tomes -Ground, Water and Air; Botany; Mammals, Birds and Fishes; Amphibians, Reptiles and Insects- and has not yet been published in its entirety. In it, other than perceptions about American nature and its usefulness and therapeutic properties, we find mentions to “Hijos del Paraguay” and “Personas naturales inteligentes”, as well as information regarding the knowledge and healing practices employed by native people of the vast region of the Província Jesuítica de Paraguay. It interests us, in particular, to highlight and analyze the descriptions Sánchez Labrador made about the natives as well as their traditional knowledge and therapeutic practices throughout the four tomes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
