the
dedication of the “temple of Our Lady of Guadalupe” in Querétaro
that the priest Juan Caballero y Ocio had built and donated, it not only describes
the festivities in detail (“Frailes, monjas, gigantes, tarascas, cofradías,
mulatos, indios, todos en la celebración’), but is profuse and
precise in telling of the nature and minutia of the art within the temple.
The pairing of Zelaa’s two efforts in one volume is both uncommon and
intellectually reinforcing. But here, it is more than that: It is a personal
memento of a life’s work as well, for
this
copy bears the bookplate of the editor himself.
Provenance: Bookplate
of José María Zelaa é Hidalgo. 20th-century rubber-stamp
with initials only of a private Mexican collector.
• Sigüenza: Medina, Mexico, 9637; Palau 312964. Zelaa:

“Association
