Abstract
Yet a vast range of his articles, published on a wide range of issues concerning the Mexican Inquisition, remained until the publication of this volume dispersed among a wide array of professional journals. The two essays in this section examine the long, complicated history of the Mexican Inquisition's treatment of indigenous Mexicans, paying particular attention to the early idolatry trials, such as that of don Carlos de Texcoco, as well as the spectacular cases in Oaxaca in the 1560s and the 1600s.
