Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n High state official and judge of the Supreme Court or the Segunda Audiencia, and later first bishop of the state of Michoacan, Vasco de Quiroga is still celebrated for the alternative community models he established for the Purepecha Indians in the Northwestern state of Michoacan in Mexico. This study offers the most complete approach to date to the writings directly attributed to this state official of the Spanish Empire and also to the scholarship about him. This work provides critical readings of Quiroga's texts including the Rules and Regulations for the Government of the Hospitals of Santa Fe de Mexico and Michoacan, Información en Derecho, De Debellandis Indis and the Juicio de Residencia, and relates them to more widely know figures such as Ginés de Sepúlveda, Bartolomé de las Casas, Bernal Díaz del Castillo and Francisco de Vitoria among others. This book will be of interest to all those engaged in the history of literature, legal studies, utopianism, Hispanic\/Spanish studies of the Early Modern Period, Colonial Latin American Studies and Golden Age Studies.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   A great success of Goméz's book is its proclamation and demonstration of the fact that the utopian adjective given to Quiroga's works, as well as its growing sanctity conditions, have damaged rather than helped the published studies regarding this person and his works.\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt; (Miguel Ángel Fernández-Delgado Utopian Studies)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA great success of Goméz's book is its proclamation and demonstration of the fact that the utopian adjective given to Quiroga's works, as well as its growing sanctity conditions, have damaged rather than helped the published studies regarding this person and his works.
