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 colonial times, 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 second of four books that document the – peer-reviewed – results of this series of seminars held in Mexico City, Lima, Bogotá, and São Paulo.

From its foundation in 1543 and until the 18th century, the Viceroyalty of Peru covered nearly the entirety of Spanish South America, from Panama to Chile, with the exception of Venezuela. The eight case studies in this book analyse significant ecclesiastical institutions and their normativities in a number of locations belonging to the archdioceses of Lima and of La Plata/Charcas, today located in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.

The first section of the volume presents two articles on the ecclesiastic legislation produced by Toribio de Mogrovejo, the second Archbishop of Lima, at the end of the 16th century. The second part examines litigation in canon law, in particular the role of lawyers and procurators at the Audiencia Arzobispal de Lima (17th century). The two studies of the third section analyse religious orders. The first compares the preaching and pastoral work of Jesuit missionaries in Austria and in Peru in the late 16th century; the second examines how the normative framework of the Monasterio de la Concepción in Lima was continuouslyly adapted to local religious and socio-economic contexts from its foundation in 1573 until the middle of the 17th century. The fourth part discusses aspects of the diocesan administration in outlying zones of the archdiocese of La Plata during the 18th century, focusing on ecclesiastical judges in Santa Fe and on the government of the bishopric of Córdoba del Tucumán. The fifth and final section deals with the ius patronatus in Chile during the independence movement in the early 19th century.

The studies on ecclesiastical institutions and normativities in various urban and rural locations of the vast Peruvian viceroyalty between the late 16th and the early 19th century collected in this volume propose new research fields for legal history and the history of the Church that are also of relevance for social and cultural history. The editors’ intention was to present approaches that explore the relationship between different types of normativities, their local adaptations, and their links with global debates, as well as to examine different forms of conflict resolution and the roles of jurists, theologians, and other actors. The topics discussed in this volume contribute to a better understanding of the normative religious universe in Spanish America.
