Page tops dyed. 300+ illustrations.John McAndrew's magisterial and comprehensive study of a virtually neglected subject: the history, development and functions of the unique structures built to accommodate the worship of the huge numbers of indigenous people converted to Christianity by the few hundred friars accompanying the Spanish conquistadors. Such rapid conversion of so many people had never happened before, and provisions had to be made for them in the absence of traditional European (or local) structures of worship. Combining indigenous and European roots, traditions, building techniques, practices and customs resulted in what McAndrew calls "...what may be the most dramatic American architectural innovation before the skyscraper: the outdoor church of… Read More
