Lecture on Laws and Legal Notions in Sixteenth-Century
Mexico
October 8th, 2007 at 4:00 pm- Prof. Osvaldo Pardo,
Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of Connecticut,
will give a lecture on the role played by Spanish missionaries in
the transmission of laws and legal notions in sixteenth-century
Mexico in the Cushing Memorial Library & Archives. As a documentary
scholar, Pardo draws heavily upon doctrinal and theological
literature printed in colonial Mexico before 1600. Until recently,
these sources have been neglected by historians of the colonial
Mexican period. These sources not only serve as the basis for
Pardo's study of contact history but also reflect a growing strength
in the
Colonial Mexican Imprint Collection at the Cushing Library.
