Linda A. Newson edits a collection on the cultural activities of Jesuits in colonial Latin America. The contributors investigate how religious institutions participated in producing, translating and circulating knowledge.
The essays address writing, language, scientific observation, visual culture and exchanges among European and American traditions. Specific historical cases show how missionary activity intersected with local circumstances and wider intellectual networks. The complete 2020 volume preserves its original illustrations, references and contributor material.
