The research aims to explore the various influences, practical and theoretical knowledge, and experiences that have contributed to the rapid development of an extensive network of convents in a vast, and initially unfamiliar, territory during the 16th century evangelization. The Dominican friars played a significant role as scholarly pioneers in the evangelization of central and southern New Spain. They took on the task of establishing a multitude of convents, often working independently, and successfully demonstrated remarkable instances of extrapolation, adaptation, and knowledge mediation through their architecture.
Lo scopo della ricerca è di studiare l’insieme di influssi, di saperi pratici e teorici, e di esperienze che hanno forgiato, in un periodo relativamente breve, un'enorme rete di complessi conventuali in un territorio davvero vasto e in principio poco conosciuto dagli evangelizzatori del XVI secolo. Si vedrà in particolare il caso dei frati domenicani, eruditi precursori dell'evangelizzazione del centro e sud della Nuova Spagna, che hanno preso le redini di una grande fabbrica di conventi, spesso da soli, per dare luogo a notevoli esempi di estrapolazione, adattamento e mediazione di sapere.

Abstract
The research aims to explore the various influences, practical and theoretical knowledge, and experiences that have contributed to the rapid development of an extensive network of convents in a vast, and initially unfamiliar, territory during the 16th century evangelization. The Dominican friars played a significant role as scholarly pioneers in the evangelization of central and southern New Spain. They took on the task of establishing a multitude of convents, often working independently, and successfully demonstrated remarkable instances of extrapolation, adaptation, and knowledge mediation through their architecture.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
