Memoria historica sobre... la inquisicion

Hasta el siglo XVI, el Bajio fue una zona fronteriza entre los pueblos civilizados del sur y los grupos cazadores del norte. Finalmente, la cultura mesoamericana se extendio hacia las aridas tierras septentrionales debido a los nuevos asentamientos de agricultores y ganaderos, asi como al descubrimiento de las minas de Zacatecas y Guanajuato que aceleraron el surgimiento de las actuales ciudades, incluida, por supuesto, San Miguel de Allende.

La presente obra es el resultado de una investigación sobre las diversas concepciones de los pueblos del México precortesiano en relación con las mariposas, a las que atribuían características míticas y religiosas. El estudio se inicia en los códices, explora las minuciosas referencias del padre Sahagún, indaga en los estudios históricos de los siglos posteriores a la Colonia y se documenta, finalmente, en los trabajos de antropología y arqueología más recientes.
