Sobre este artículo
Cambridge: Cambridge U. P., 2002. reprint. Nice copy. octavo. softback with stiff wrappers xvii + 444pp., colour frontis., b/w plates, notes, bibliog., index, in 1531 Mary appeared as a beautiful Aztec princess to Juan Diego, a poor Indian. Speaking to him in his own language, she asked him to tell the bishop her name was La Virgen de Guadalupe and that she wanted a church built on the mountain. During a second visit, the image of the Virgin miraculously appeared on his cape. Through the centuries, the enigmatic power of this image has aroused such fervent devotion in Mexico that it has served as the banner of the rebellion against Spanish rule and, despite skepticism and anticlericalism, still remains a potent symbol of the modern nation. Neat ownership details o/w a nice copy
