JIMENEZ PEREZ, Isla Citlalli. The Pastoral Visitation of Francisco Fabián y Fuero to the Bishopric of Puebla in 1765. Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2021, n.64, pp.207-227.  Epub June 06, 2022. ISSN 2448-6922.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24486922e.2021.64.76036.

The main objective of this work is to present the acts of the pastoral visit of Francisco Fabián y Fuero, bishop of Puebla from 1765 to 1773, which began in 1765 in certain parishes of his diocese. The importance of this document lies in the fact that it shows how the diocese was governed by this influential prelate, who is the second most important figure in the New Hispanic ecclesiastical scene of the second half of the 18th century, a few months after arriving in New Spain. It offers different information about the places and the population, in addition to the fact that this document is currently unpublished.
