    The Biography of Vasco de Quiroga (1470- 1565), Bishop of Utopia, by Benjamín Jarnés (1888-1949) Juan Miguel Zarandona University of Valladolid, Spain Citation: Juan Miguel Zarandona, “The Biography of Vasco de Quiroga (1470-1565), Bishop of Utopia, by Benjamín Jarnés (1888-1949)”, Spaces of Utopia: An Electronic Journal , nr. 3, Autumn/Winter 2006, pp. 69-83 <http://ler.letras.up.pt > ISSN 1646-4729. Introduction In those years of the European Early Modernity an Old Castilian Spanish young man of sixty years of age, Vasco de Quiroga, born in Castilian lands of Ávila in 1470, left the Iberian Peninsula and sailed towards the New World. He arrived in the new colonial Vice-Royalty of New Spain and Mexico City in 1530. His Lord and Emperor, Charles I, wanted him there in the new territories. Vasco de Quiroga was a former student at Salamanca University, a proved humanist and a devoted son of the Renaissance. He probably travelled light but determined to make his favourite reading, Sir Thomas More’s Utopia , a dream come true. He not only promoted, protected against the many abuses, and improved the Indian’s life conditions from the very beginning, but started building his ideal plans. Between 1531 and 1535 Quiroga founded two utopian communities, both named Hospital-Pueblo de Santa Fe (Hospital-Village of the Holy Faith), in the outskirts of Mexico City and Michoacán. A few years after, he became Bishop of Michoacán and from this high position continued struggling for the abused and applying his utopian agenda firmly. Vasco de Quiroga died in 1565 at the venerable age of 95.

  • 1 the Classical Foundations of Utopia in Sixteenth
    Comparatismes en Sorbonne 6-2015 : Les Classiques aux Amériques Andrew Laird : The classical foundations of Utopia in sixteenth century Mexico: Lucian, Virgil, More and Vasco de Quiroga’s Información en derecho (1535) THE CLASSICAL FOUNDATIONS OF UTOPIA IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY MEXICO: LUCIAN, VIRGIL, MORE, AND ERASMUS IN VASCO DE QUIROGA’S INFORMACIÓN EN DERECHO (1535) Vasco de Quiroga (1470-1565) is still celebrated in Mexico for the hospitales pueblo or «village hospitals» he founded for indigenous people who had been dispossessed as a result of the Spanish conquest in 1521. Silvio Zavala was the first historian to suggest that Thomas More’s Utopia (1516) provided the blueprint for those residential communities – although the connection between More’s celebrated philosophical fiction and Quiroga’s social projects is not as direct as has often been supposed1. Following an outline of Quiroga’s early life [I], the present discussion will show that More’s Latin translation of Lucian was a far more palpable influence on his longest work, the Información en derecho (1535) [II]. A specific evocation of Erasmus of Rotterdam’s writings reflecting the importance of the Dutch humanist’s thought for the utopian principles espoused by Quiroga will be considered [III], before some concluding remarks [IV]. I Vasco de Quiroga came from a noble Galician family from Madrigal de las Altas Torres, in the Spanish province of Ávila. Little is known of his early life: his date of birth is disputed, and it is not known where he was educated. In 1525 Quiroga was appointed as a judge in Oran in North Africa.

  • God of the Month: Tlaloc
    God of the Month: Tlaloc Tlaloc, lord of celestial waters, lightning flashes and hail, patron of land workers, was one of the oldest and most important deities in the Aztec pantheon. Archaeological evidence indicates that he was worshipped in Mesoamerica before the Aztecs even settled in Mexico's central highlands in the 13th century AD. Ceramics depicting a water deity accompanied by serpentine lightning bolts date back to the 1st Tlaloc shown with a jaguar helm. Codex Vaticanus B. century BC in Veracruz, Eastern Mexico. Tlaloc's antiquity as a god is only rivalled by Xiuhtecuhtli the fire lord (also Huehueteotl, old god) whose appearance in history is marked around the last few centuries BC. Tlaloc's main purpose was to send rain to nourish the growing corn and crops. He was able to delay rains or send forth harmful hail, therefore it was very important for the Aztecs to pray to him, and secure his favour for the following agricultural cycle. Read on and discover how crying children, lepers, drowned people, moun- taintops and caves were all important parts of the symbolism surrounding this powerful ancient god... Starting at the very beginning: Tlaloc in Watery Deaths Tamoanchan. Right at the beginning of the world, before the gods were sent down to live on Earth as mortal beings, they Aztecs who died from one of a list of the fol- lived in Tamoanchan, a paradise created by the divine lowing illnesses or incidents were thought to Tlaloc vase. being Ometeotl for his deity children. be sent to the 'earthly paradise' of Tlalocan.

    Bishop William T. McCarty, C.Ss.R. Papers Baltimore Province of the Redemptorists Archives 7509 Shore Road Brooklyn, New York 11209-2807 The scope of the papers of Bishop William T. McCarty, C.Ss.R., a member of the Baltimore Province of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, encompasses letters, manuscripts (including memoirs), notebooks, articles, news clippings, and photographs, dating from c. 1889 to as late as 1973, the year following his death. The collection is especially important—however partial—for research on the history of the Catholic Church in Rapid City, South Dakota, and for his activities as the Military Delegate. Of particular interest are the numbers of items related to the Indian missions. The entirety of the collection is open to qualified researchers. Consultation of these materials will be at the discretion of the Province Archivist. Biography: William Tiburtus (sometimes Tiburtius; in his own autobiography it is Tiburtus) McCarty was born August 11, 1889, on a farm a short distance from Crossingville, Pennsylvania, to Timothy C. and Margaret (neé Burns) McCarty. At birth he weighed a mere 3 pounds and the midwife baptized him on the spot. The next Sunday, however, a more formal, though conditional, baptism took place in the Church of St. Philip in Crossingville, where his parents had been married in September 1875. He was the third and last of the couple’s three children, which included Maryanne and Frank. Three brothers predeceased William—John, Jeremiah, and James—all of whom died in infancy. From 1880 until her death in 1891, his mother was an invalid who could barely get out of bed.

The Syrian Orthodox in their Historical and Artistic Settings 2.1 Northern Mesopotamia and Mosul The blossoming of ‘Syrian Orthodox art’ during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries is mainly attested for Northern Mesopotamia. At the time, Northern Mesopotamia was commonly known as the Jazira (Arabic for ‘island’), a geographic entity encompassing roughly the territory which is located between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and lies north of Baghdad and south of Lake Van. 1 In ecclesiastical terms, this region is called Athur (Assyria). 2 Early Islamic historians and geographers distinguished three different districts: Diyar Mudar, Diyar Bakr, and Diyar Rabi cah. Today, these districts correspond more or less to eastern Syria, south-eastern Turkey, and northern Iraq, respectively. Mosul was the capital of the Diyar Rabi cah district, which ‘extended north from Takrit along both banks of the Tigris to the tributary Ba caynatha river a few kilometres north of Jazirat ibn cUmar (modern Cizre) and westwards along the southern slopes of the Tur cAbdin as far as the western limits of the Khabur Basin’.
