Description: "The author brings a wealth of knowledge of medieval and Renaissance European history, philosophy, theology, art, and architecture to bear on colonial Mexico at the same time as he focuses on indigenous contributions to the colonial enterprise. This study enriches our understanding of the colonial process and the reciprocal relationship between European friars and native artisans."--BOOK JACKET.
