アレッサンドロ・ヴァリニャーノ
Japanese "Kirishitan ban" (キリシタン版 "Christian publications") refers to the books, grammars, and dictionaries published 1591–1611 by the Jesuit Mission Press. In 1590, the Italian Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano brought a movable type printing press to Japan. Compared with contemporary woodblock printing in Japan, Üçerler calls this technological superiority the "First IT Revolution".
