Abstract

Scholarship on Palafox has often neglected his remarkable patronage of other 1600s buildings and his ambition to transform Puebla and its diocese into an "ideal Christian Republic" (117). In his epilogue, Burke reaffirms why Spanish-American baroque architecture matters and how anglophone historiography has traditionally overlooked it. The field is sprouting, and Burke's promising monograph joins a list of scholars who are steadily rereading an architectural history of global implications, one in which Puebla rightly stands as a key component.
