Normatividades e instituciones eclesiásticas en el Nuevo Reino de Granada, siglos XVI–XIX

Ecclesiastical institutions and actors played key roles in the formation of normative orders in early modern Ibero-America. However, both legal historiography, due to its strong legalistic, state-centered imprint, and general historiography on the colonial period, more inclined towards secular law, have only rarely discussed the contribution of ecclesiastical normativity to the formation of what came to be called ‘derecho indiano’. In light of that situation, the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History organised a series of seminars in different Latin American cities in order to offer an interdisciplinary forum dedicated to the research of ecclesiastical normativities and institutions in Ibero-America between the 16th and 19th centuries. The present volume (in Spanish) is the third in a four-book series that documents the – peer-reviewed – results of this series of seminars held in Mexico City, Lima, Bogotá, and São Paulo.
