Joseph,
I know that in the 1800's, just there in Jerez alone, there were lots of
painters, poets, and intellectuals. (I just found one of my Reveles line
was a "pintor" and since he later worked for MGM as a set designer in the 20's
to 40's, I know he didn't paint buildings. Also, in the book I have called
Historia de Mexico, there is a chapter on "Vida Intelectual y Artistica en el
Periodo Colonial". I will transcribe it for you, but it will be slow going
since it is a smelly moldy old tome that I am allergic to and can only handle it
for a short time before I start to cough, etc.

Subject: [ranchos] Mexican Scientists and
Learned Individuals
So during the colonial times were there any learned
indivduals in
Mexico? Scientists? Inventors? Musicians? Doctors?
Architects? Poets? etc?
I guess I'm looking for that time period from
the Conquest to the
1800's. I realize that the closer you get to current
times you will have
a much larger selection of examples of the above, but
I'm wondering what
was going on during the 400 years between
1500-1899?
just curious,
joseph
ps: didn't Spain open up
a handful of Universities in these early times?
I wonder what the
graduates of these Universities were doing?
