We introduce in this paper an unpublished artwork by Antonio Castillo Lastrucci, which is preserved in a private Sevillian collection. It is a terracotta relief about cervantine subject. In this case, there is represented a scene about the outstanding novel The ingenious gentleman don Quixote de la Mancha, which is considered one of the best works of universal literature. Thus an enriching contribution is made to the huge and varied catalogue of this prolific artist, who is well-known due to his famous imagery works.

A painting recently restored that represents an Allegory of the Dominican Order is preserved at the Parish Church of Santa María Magdalena in Seville. The intervention in the painting has allowed its correct study, resulting in that it may be a work done by the Sevillian painter Sebastián de Llanos Valdés (c. 1605-1677). The iconographic and symbolic study of this painting shows deep spiritual concepts, always linked and protected by political power.

This paper reveals the fascination felt by the painter José Arpa Perea for the American landscape and for the views of the Grand Canyon in Arizona through an interesting example.

This paper presents an unknown work by the painter Ignacio de Ríes, artist of the Sevillian School of the first half of the 17th century. It is the Immaculate Conception that is located in the current dependencies of the Brotherhood of the Holy Christ of the Expiration in Morón de la Frontera (Seville). These dependencies were the former headquarters of the church of the Society of Jesus School in that town.

El presente artículo pretende constituir una aportación al análisis historiográfico de las obras de cronistas del siglo XVII, un siglo por demás, poco abordado. El estudio indaga cómo los autores elegidos plasmaron sus ideas acerca del origen del hombre americano, teniendo en consideración la variedad de tradiciones en las que ellos se habían forjado, y cómo en su propia interpretación, proyectaban también sus  intereses propios. La investigación se centra en las obras de Domingo Francisco de San Antón Muñón Chimalpáhin Quauhtlehuanitzin, Francisco de Burgoa y Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas. Cada autor representa concepciones del mundo diferentes debido a su bagaje y formación: el primero, un indígena originario de Amecameca perteneciente a la nobleza chalca; el segundo, un religioso dominico de Antequera (hoy Oaxaca), y el último, español, originario de Segovia y Cronista Mayor de Indias.   Historiography and cosmovision: The origin of man in the work of three seventeenth-century chroniclers   This paper analizes the vision of the origin of man in the work of three seventeenth century chroniclers: an indian, a Dominican monk and a major chronicler of the Indies. Each one of them combined, the biblical, Greek-Roman and Prehispanic tradition, resulting in peculiar explanations they aspired to get credibility with, which was eclipsed by the sixteenth-century chroniclers. The historiography of every one of them was aimed to get the American man into the Christian history, from its origin to its present, as well it meant his Christian salvation. The article contributes with more elements for analysis to know the construction of narrative and historiography of the seventeenth century chroniclers.   DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.31836/lh.19.6425

El artículo revisa un documento procedente de la cofradía de la Purísima Concepción de Sayula, escrito en náhuatl, en algún momento del siglo XVII. En él los cofrades, se dirigen a una autoridad eclesiástica, le informan que arrendaron tierra de la cofradía a Juan de la Cruz quien dejó una casa para el hospital de la propia cofradía. Sin embargo la propiedad ha sido ocupada por un español. Piden la intervención de las autoridades a fin de que se les devuelva. Aunque desconocemos qué fin tuvo la petición de los agraviados, el breve documento permite asomarnos a una parte de la cotidianeidad de una cofradía, agrupación cristiana que fue muy aceptada en las comunidades indígenas de Nueva España, y que les permitió un margen de autonomía dentro del sistema colonial.    Otictlaneuhtique tlali yaxcatotlaçonantzin… “To who lease theland owned by Our Lady...” Claim of thebrethren of Sayula   The article examines a document from a confraternity dedicated to the Immaculate Conception in Sayula, written in Nahuatl through the seventeenth century. The members of the brotherhood inform that they rented out a piece of land. The house, however, has been occupied by a Spaniard and they request to have it back. The text allows us to take sight of a small part of the daily life of a confraternity, a Christian brotherhood which was well accepted among the Indigenous communities of New Spain. Its existence provided them an opportunity of being autonomous within the colonial regime.   DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.31836/lh.19.6717

El presente texto analiza la irrupción del movimiento de guerrilla urbana en la ciudad de Monterrey durante la primera mitad de la década de los setentas del siglo XX.

El artículo revisa el concepto pequeña nobleza para observar cómo ha sido utilizado en la historiografía de la época colonial chilena. Parte de precisiones señaladas por Álvaro Jara relativas al siglo xvi, luego bosqueja cómo dicho concepto fue definido por algunos autores europeos y cómo recalan en el contexto chileno, a fin de caracterizar la pequeña nobleza teniendo en consideración los postulados de Immanuel Wallerstein y los casos empíricos concretos investigados, para concluir que, si bien es cierto, conde es un título de nobleza que semánticamente es igual donde sea, no significa lo mismo si el individuo vivía en Madrid, Lima o La Serena (Chile).Petite nobleness: analyzing a concept and revisiting historical and historiographical experiences applied to colonial ChileThe present article reviews the concept petite bourgeoisie to observe how it has been used within the historiography of the Chilean colonial period. It begins with the specifications given by Alvaro Jara related to the use of this concept during the xvi century. Then, it outlines the way such concept was defined by European authors, and it finally focuses on the Chilean context, aiming to characterize the petite bourgeoisie according to Immanuel Wallerstein’s ideas, and taking into consideration the concrete empirical cases under research. The above would lead to the conclusion that although the word Count, as a nobility title, has the same semantic meaning everywhere, it does not mean the same for a real Count than for someone who lives in Madrid, Lima or La Serena (Chile).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31836/lh.18.6582
