El Cabildo Catedral De Valladolid De Michoacán
Resumen del Libro
Thorough study of the cathedral cabildo–the ruling body of the Episcopal church–in the important diocesis of Michoacán. Covers the entire colonial period. The cabildo is analyzed as a collegiate body aware of its historical identity, its responsibilities and duties, and its relationship with the bishop. Traces important nuances in the evolution of this body. Sustained by strong archival research, this is a commendable history of a key part of the secular church –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
