Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico
Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico presents a fascinating survey of urban history between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It chronicles the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles, a city located in central-south Mexico, during its viceregal period. Founded in 1531, the city was established as a Spanish settlement surrounded by important Indigenous towns. This situation prompted a colonial city that developed along Spanish colonial guidelines but became influenced by the native communities that settled in it, creating one of the most architecturally rich cities in colonial Spanish America, from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. This book covers the city's historical background, investigating its civic and religious institutions as represented in selected architectural landmarks. Throughout the narrative, Burke weaves together sociological, anthropological, and historical analysis to discuss the city’s architectural and urban development. Written for academics, students, and researchers interested in architectural history, Latin American studies, and the Spanish American viceregal period, it will make an important contribution to the field.
Emblemata Hispanica
Emblem books--books containing pictorial representations whose symbolic meaning is expressed in words--were produced in great quantities and in numerous languages during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Because literary critics and art historians increasingly recognize the importance of the emblem in Renaissance and Baroque studies, this book answers the need for a bibliography listing the locations of all known emblem books in Spanish, as well as those translated into Spanish, written by Spaniards in other languages, and polyglot editions that contain a Spanish text. Covered in this bibliography are all emblem books published from the beginning to the end of the Spanish Golden Age, ...

Frames that Speak: Cartouches on Early Modern Maps
This lavishly illustrated book is the first systematic exploration of cartographic cartouches, the decorated frames that surround the title, or other text or imagery, on historic maps. It addresses the history of their development, the sources cartographers used in creating them, and the political, economic, historical, and philosophical messages their symbols convey. Cartouches are the most visually appealing parts of maps, and also spaces where the cartographer uses decoration to express his or her interests—so they are key to interpreting maps. The book discusses thirty-three cartouches in detail, which range from 1569 to 1821, and were chosen for the richness of their imagery. The book will open your eyes to a new way of looking at maps.
Viceroy Güemes’s Mexico
Viceroy Güemes’s Mexico: Rituals, Religion, and Revenue examines the career of Juan Francisco Güemes y Horcasitas, viceroy of New Spain from 1746 to 1755. It provides the best account yet of how the colonial reform process most commonly known as the Bourbon Reforms did not commence with the arrival of José de Gálvez, the visitador general to New Spain appointed in 1765. Rather, Güemes, ennobled as the conde de Revillagigedo in 1749, pushed through substantial reforms in the late 1740s and early 1750s, most notably the secularization of the doctrinas (turning parishes administering to Natives over to diocesan priests) and the state takeover of the administration of the alcabala tax in ...

Durante los siglos xvi y xvii, la monarquía hispánica gobierna, con relaciones, guerras y dominaciones, los reinos de Nápoles y Sicilia, y los convertirá en sendos virreinatos, trasladando la administración territorial española fusionada con elementos nativos. Este tercer volumen de la serie Triunfos Barrocos mantiene el refinamiento y preciosismo de las ediciones anteriores, y pone a disposición de los estudiosos un bellísimo conjunto de imágenes festivas de los grandes reinos del sur de la península itálica que, durante dos siglos, unieron sus destinos a los de la corona española.
La fiesta barroca. Los virreinatos americanos (1560-1808)

Este segundo volumen sobre los Triunfos Barrocos revive, recrea y transmite la esencia de la cultura festiva en los virreinatos americanos en una edición en tapa que recoge más de 400 imágenes, muchas de ellas inéditas
La fiesta barroca. El Reino de Valencia (1599-1802)
Hubo un tiempo que, coincidiendo con el apogeo de las monarquías absolutas y el auge del catolicismo, algunas ciudades fueron escenarios de impresionantes festejos públicos, políticos y religiosos, en los cuales intervinieron numerosos artistas que diseñaron las máquinas, las escenografías y las decoraciones que los acogieron. Esta monografía recoge las imágenes conservadas de la fiesta barroca al Reino de Valencia, desde 1599 hasta 1802, fechas que coinciden con sendas visitas de la familia real española a la capital del reino valenciano. Esta obra forma parte del proyecto Triunfos barrocos, que pretende recopilar y estudiar todas las imágenes festivas barrocas de los reinos de la monarquía hispánica, y que ya prepara los siguientes volúmenes.
