Description: "Careful and detailed portrayal of the professorial community and scholarly culture in the New Kingdom. Rightly insisting that intellectual development in Nueva Granada is not limited to the era of Charles III, despite an analytical focus on the Enlightenment, Silva traces growth of the university corporation over the entire colonial period in terms of numbers, identity, and influence"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
