JANVIER WITH TWO MAPS I.—THE CITY OF MEXICO II.—ENVIRONS OF THE CITY OF MEXICO t/ 3 NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1886 Copyright, 1885, by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS .J55 TBOW'S PRINTING AND BOOKBINDING COMPANY, NEW YORK. PREFACE. This book contains the information that I felt the want of when I first went to Mexico. The theory upon which it is constructed is, that what can be easily- found and plainly seen need not be laboriously de- scribed ; that a traveller of ordinary intelligence, after being told what to look for, and where to look for it, in a strange country, desires most to know the historic facts and associations connected with what he sees. Consequently—while I have not shrunk from using an- gular facts wherever clearness made such facts neces- sary—there are not many lengths, breadths, and thick- nesses in this guide-book. I shall be very grateful for suggestions in regard to changes or additions, statistical or otherwise, that those who use the Guide may con- sider necessary ; and still more grateful for corrections of the errors which, no doubt, will be found in my work. Excepting in archceology, where I have been guided, ; IV PREFACE. mainly, by the conclusions of Mr. A. F. Bandelier, my authorities ai'e almost exclusively Mexican. I have drawn freely upon the works of the late eminent histo- rian and archaeologist, Sefior Manuel Orozco y Berra upon the works of Senor Antonio Garcia Cubas ; upon the ecclesiastical histories of the late Seiior Luis Alfaro Apai'icio the y Pina, and Seiior Manuel Ramirez ; upon general Mexican histories of the Seiiores Julio Zai'ate, J. M. Eoa Bai-cena, and Manuel Payno ; upon the Chron- icles of Fray Agustin de Vetancurt and Fray Baltasar de Medina. In matters relating to the general history and customs of the Catholic Church I have been guided by " The CathoHc Dictionary," by the Eev. William E. Addis and Thomas Ai-nold, M.A. In my descriptions of travel over the lines of the Mexican and Mexican Cen- tral Railways I have used portions of the remarkably exact and trustworthy itinerary prepared for the Ray- mond Excursion Agency of Boston, supplementing this matter with matter drawn from my own observation and reseai'ch. I am imder obhgations to General Carlos Pacheco, Mexican Minister of Public Works, for permission to republish tlie accompanying official maps of the City of Mexico, and of the environs of the City of Mexico ; and to the United States Envoy to Mexico, the Hon. Hemy R Jackson, for his very courteously given aid in pro- curing me this privilege. I am under obligations, also, to Don Guillermo Piieto, and to the Rev. Father PREFACE. y Agustin Fischer, Curate of San Cosme, for advice and assistance in obtaining the several works of reference required in preparing the following pages. And most of all am I (very happily) under obligations to my wife, without whose assistance—not only in trans- slating and in proof-reading, but in the difficult and re- ponsible work of searching and collating authorities— the Mexican Guide assuredly never would have been prepared.

    Rev. Med. Hosp. Na!. Nií'losCosta Rica 17 (1 Y 2); 1-2'0,1982 ESTUDIO DE PURISCAl 1. BASES FllOSOFICAS, DESARROLLO y ESTADO ACTUAL DE LA INVESTIGACION APLICADA EN NUTRICION Leonardo Mata* INTRODUCCION Antes de 1975 no existía en Costa Rica ninguna institución Que se encargase del estudio sistemático de problemas prioritarios en el campo de la salud humana. Preocupado por esa situación, el Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas (CONICIT), nombró una comisión nacional para Que se abocara al estudio de ese problema. La comisión concluyó en 1974 Que era necesario la or­ ganización de un Instituto que agrupase investigadores interesados en el estudio multidisciplinario de problemas de salud humana que no se estaban investigando en el país. La Universidad de Costa Rica acogió la iniciativa del CONtCIT y creó en 1975 un Programa de Investigaciones en Salud (1NISAL adscrito a las Faculta­ des del Area de Salud. En el INISA se identificó como prioritarias la salud del niño y de la mujer en la etapa de procreación, por ser este binomio uno de los más vulnerables a las agresiones del medio, especialmente social. Se identifcaron problemas nutricio­ nales, infecciosos, congénitos, genéticos y degenerativos como aquellos que debían recibir inmediata atención. Finalmente, se creyó fundamental investigar y cono­ cer más los determinantes sociales de la enfermedad, particularmente la "patología social", a fin de establecer recomendaciones para corregir o mejorar situaciones prevalecientes. Con el fin de desarrollar un programa coherente de trabajo en fa investigación en salud, con repercusiones en la enseñanza y en la acción social, se planificó un "estudio longitudinal", esto es, un programa prospectivo a largo plazo que permi­ tiese la observaci6n por períodos largos de poblaciones humanas en su ecosistema natural.

  • Tourism, Heritage and Creativity: Divergent Narratives and Cultural Events in Mexican World Heritage Cities
    Tourism, Heritage and Creativity: Divergent Narratives and Cultural Events in Mexican World Heritage Cities Tourismus, Erbe und Kreativität: Divergierende Erzählungen und kulturelle Ereignisse in mexi-kanischen Weltkulturerbe-Städten MARCO HERNÁNDEZ-ESCAMPA, DANIEL BARRERA-FERNÁNDEZ** Faculty of Architecture “5 de Mayo”, Autonomous University of Oaxaca “Benito Juárez” Abstract This work compares two major Mexican events held in World Heritage cities. Gua- najuato is seat to The Festival Internacional Cervantino. This festival represents the essence of a Mexican region that highlights the Hispanic past as part of its identity discourse. Meanwhile, Oaxaca is famous because of the Guelaguetza, an indigenous traditional festival whose roots go back in time for fve centuries. Focused on cultural change and sustainability, tourist perception, identity narrative, and city theming, the analysis included anthropological and urban views and methodologies. Results show high contrasts between the analyzed events, due in part to antagonist (Indigenous vs. Hispanic) identities. Such tension is characteristic not only in Mexico but in most parts of Latin America, where cultural syncretism is still ongoing. Dieser Beitrag vergleicht Großveranstaltungen zweier mexikanischer Städte mit Welt- kulturerbe-Status. Das Festival Internacional Cervantino in Guanajato steht beispiel- haft für eine mexikanische Region, die ihre spanische Vergangenheit als Bestandteil ihres Identitätsdiskurses zelebriert. Oaxaca wiederum ist für das indigene traditionelle Festival Guelaguetza bekannt, dessen Vorläufer 500 Jahre zurückreichen. Mit einem Fokus auf kulturellen Wandel und Nachhaltigkeit, Tourismus, Identitätserzählungen und städtisches Themenmanagement kombiniert die Analyse Perspektiven und Me- thoden aus der Anthropologie und Stadtforschung. Die Ergebnisse zeigen prägnante Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Festivals auf, die sich u.a. auf antagonistische Iden- titäten (indigene vs.

Dissertation Advisors: James Hankins, Tamar Herzog Stuart Michael McManus The Global Lettered City: Humanism and Empire in Colonial Latin America and the Early Modern World Abstract Historians have long recognized the symbiotic relationship between learned culture, urban life and Iberian expansion in the creation of “Latin” America out of the ruins of pre-Columbian polities, a process described most famously by Ángel Rama in his account of the “lettered city” (ciudad letrada). This dissertation argues that this was part of a larger global process in Latin America, Iberian Asia, Spanish North Africa, British North America and Europe.

Abstract New contributions to the biography and artistic representations of Sebastián de Aparicio are offered in relation to the process of his beatification, which complete the work published in 2018 in this same Magazine. l beato Sebastián de Aparicio (A Gudiña-Ourense, 20-01-1502 / Puebla de Elos Ángeles, 25-02-1600) dejó una importante huella en el virreinato de Nueva España. Como agricultor y constructor de carretas, contribuyó a la mejora de las condiciones de trabajo de los indios en el campo y en las minas. El duro acarreo de las mercancías en recuas de mulas y a hombros de los indios tamemes, dio pasó a su transporte en carretas arrastradas por yuntas de bueyes. Durante los últimos veintidós años de su vida, Aparicio ejerció el oficio de fraile limosnero en el convento franciscano de Puebla de los Ángeles y trabajó como carretero recogiendo alimentos y enseres para la comunidad. Su fama de santidad y de trabajador infatigable al servicio de los pobres se extendió por toda la zona. Falleció al mes de haber cumplido los 98 años. Su cadáver amortajado fue velado y, desde entonces, comenzaron los relatos de sus milagros.
