The order quickly became the wealthiest, having the most dramatic missionary churches, owning prime real estate in Mexico-Tenochtitlan, and being de facto rulers of large indigenous communities. \u003ci\u003eForgotten Franciscans\u003c\/i\u003e offers documents and written works by three Spanish Franciscans of the early modern period who, while well known by their contemporaries, have been largely forgotten by modern-day scholars. Alfonso de Castro, an inquisitional theorist, offers a defense of Indian education; Alonso Cabello, convicted of Erasmianism in Mexico City, discusses Christ's humanity in a Nativity sermon; and Diego Muñoz, an inquisitional deputy, investigates witchcraft in Celaya. Together they offer new perspectives on the mythologies and realities of Franciscan thought in the New World.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penn State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891287507095,"sku":"9780271048727","price":3124.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780271048727.webp?v=1781183041","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/forgotten-franciscans-works-from-an-inquisitional-theorist-a-heretic-and-an-inquisitional-deputy-9780271048727","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
