Founded at the beginning of the 17th century by the Jesuits, for religious instruction, first letters and music of the sons of the caciques Indians, the College of San Gregorio soon became a center for learning and practicing native languages. This paper explores to what extent the two libraries on the campus were an active tool in this linguistic work.

Keywords : colleges; Indians; languages; expultion of the Jesuits.
