Father Muriel in his Latin translation of Charlevoix's Histoire du Paraguay, liv. XIII, p. 199, note 5, states that the real author of the "Relacion" is P. Domenico Bandiera, of Siena, who wrote it in Italian and entrusted Father Pedro Lozano with the translation into Spanish; J.P. Fernandez only contributed to it. cf. De Backer-Sommervogel.
