Tres mapas del padre Samuel Fritz de la cuenca amazónica peruana (siglo XVII) vistos con mirada de lingüista

This is a study about the languages and peoples of the Amazon in the late seventeenth century, departing from three maps elaborated by the missionary Samuel Fritz. The aim of the article is to provide a linguistic perspective on the Amazonian peoples and languages at that time period, in order to provide a delineation of the spaces that these languages once occupied, as well as of the ones that the surviving languages occupy today. The three maps made by Father Fritz allow us to identify languages and peoples, linked to certain geographical areas in the Amazon at that time period, and they also reveal numerous cases of extinction of peoples and their respective linguistic creations.Este trabajo se refiere a cartografía colonial amazónica de fines del siglo XVII, pero publicada a comienzos del siglo XVIII. Se trata específicamente de la obra del misionero jesuita Samuel Fritz de la antigua "Misión de Maynas". EL objetivo es tener una mirada de las lenguas amazónicas a partir de tres documentos cartográficos del padre Fritz, los mismos que permiten conocer los espacios geográficos que ocuparon determinadas lenguas y los que ocupan hoy algunas que sobreviven
