Jerónimo De Mendieta

Taking advantage of the abundant literature on this noted Franciscan, Luis González y González has selected five clusters from the writings of Mendieta of particular ethnographic and historical interest. Included in this work are prayers, fiestas, addresses of mothers to daughters and of fathers and sons, and materials about the conversion process. Thoughtful introduction by the editor provides essential background –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
