They pioneered an interest in indigenous languages and cultures, compiling dictionaries and writing some of the earliest ethnographies of the region. They also explored the region's natural history and made significant contributions to the development of science and medicine. On their estates and in the missions they introduced new plants, livestock, and agricultural techniques, such as irrigation. In addition, they left a lasting legacy on the region's architecture, art, and music. The volume demonstrates the diversity of Jesuit contributions to Latin American culture. This volume is unique in considering not only the range of Jesuit activities but also the diversity of perspectives from which they may be approached. It includes papers from scholars of history, linguistics, religion, art, architecture, music, medicine and science. 606 $aTechnology & Engineering / Agriculture$2bisacsh 606 $aReligion / Christianity / Catholic$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science / Colonialism & Post-colonialism$2bisacsh 606 $aReligion 607 $aLatin America$xCivilization 607 $aLatin America$xHistory$yTo 1600 615 7$aTechnology & Engineering / Agriculture 615 7$aReligion / Christianity / Catholic 615 7$aPolitical Science / Colonialism & Post-colonialism 615 0$aReligion. 700 $aLinda Newson$4auth$01380051 702 $aNewson$b Linda A. 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910383156903321 996 $aCultural Worlds of the Jesuits in Colonial Latin America$93420898 997 $aUNINA
