Shrines and Miraculous Images is a collection of essays on religious venerations in pre-industrial Mexico, written by a leading voice in the field with decades of meticulous research in ecclesiastical archives. . . . The book is an instant classic and a significant contribution to the understanding of Mexican culture.--Juan Javier Pescador, Comparative Studies in Society and History
Taylor charts new ground in the historiography, and thus 'synoptic' view of the image-based piety that will help to guide research on Mexico's religious history for years to come.--Journal of Latin American Studies
