The Max Planck
Institute for European Legal History has published the first of four planned
books dealing with the contribution of ecclesiastical institutions to normative
orders in early modern Ibero-America.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Ecclesiastical
institutions and actors were essential for the formation of normative orders in
early modern Ibero-America. However, both legal historiography, due to its
strong legalistic, state-centred imprint, and general historiography on
colonial times, more inclined towards secular law, have only rarely discussed
the contribution of ecclesiastical normativity to the formation of that
normative texture which, in the historiographical tradition, has been called ‘derecho
indiano’.
In light of this
situation, the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History has organised a
series of seminars in different Latin American cities in order to offer an
interdisciplinary forum dedicated to the research of ‘ecclesiastical normativities
and institutions in Ibero-America’ between the 16th and 19th centuries.
The present volume is the first in a series of publications that document the
results of this cycle of seminars celebrated in Mexico City, Lima, Bogotá and
São Paulo.
The book,
focusing on New Spain, is divided into five thematic parts. The first section
presents investigations on canon law and moral theology that deal with
characteristic aspects of multinormativity and the teaching of those disciplines
in early modern times. The second section examines diocesan governance and
ecclesiastical power in Mexico City and Puebla via statutes of the cathedral
chapter, members of the ‘curia arzobispal’ and pertinent legal opinions.
In the third section, the contributors reflect on the normativity and
administration of sacraments, drawing on conciliar norms, treatises, pragmatic
literature but as well on registers of baptisms and confessions. The fourth
section deals with ethnic groups in courts of justice, both civil and
ecclesiastic ones: indigenous people accused of ‘hechicería’ in a
tribunal of Tlaxcala and Afro-Mexicans who started litigation in the
archiepiscopal court of Mexico. The articles of the fifth section cover the
topics of beatification, devotion and cultural expressions (music, images) from
a normative perspective and extend the period of investigation to the 19th century.
The articles on
ecclesiastical institutions and normativities in New Spain collected in this
volume propose new research fields for legal history and the history of the
Church, which at the same time are relevant for social and cultural history.
The editors’ purpose has been to present approaches that explore the
relationship between different types of normativities, their local adaptations,
the ties with global debates, the forms of solving conflicts, as well as the
role of jurists, theologians and other actors. The topics discussed by the
authors represented in this volume – who cultivate the disciplines of history,
legal history, church history, ethnohistory, art history and the history of
music – contribute to a better understanding of the normative religious
universe in Spanish America.
