Some notes on the bibliography of the Philippines

"Some Notes on the Bibliography of the Philippines" by Rev. Thomas Cooke Middleton, D.D., O.S.A. is a researched record created around the late 1890s to early 1900s, functioning as a knowledgeable resource that gathers and studies writings about the history, skills, science, and languages of the Philippines, recording the brainpower of many writers and scholars from the islands. It's a sweeping look at Philippine writing, pointing out key works, writers, and important topics about the islands. It covers the bibliography made by W.E. Retana, which includes books in twenty-seven Philippine languages, and focuses on key texts from historical stories to studies in plants and language. Also, Middleton talks about how printing was first used in the Philippines, noting early printing presses and what they did to spread knowledge. His focus on the deep and different nature of Philippine writing wants to bring awareness and fix wrong ideas about the nation's books, and acts as a full guide for those wanting to learn about the intellectual past of the Philippines.
