"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.

"Superb guide to a collection of documents from 1746-1823 given to Univ. Iberoamericana by philanthropist Manuel Arango Arías. Volume contains many papers relating to Miguel Hidalgo and family, as well as a large group devoted to independence. Excellent indices make this work a model of its kind. Recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
