AYALA CALDERON, Javier. Beasts and pure spirits: the high and low of the gargoyles at the Augustinian convent in Cuitzeo, Michoacán (16th century). Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.142, pp.49-77. ISSN 2448-7554.
This study examines the gargoyles at the Augustinian convent in Cuitzeo, Michoacán, in an effort to identify and recognize, individually, the concepts that underlie them, and to determine the links established among them as elements of an iconographic program that announced the path between spiritual levels through the use of metaphors of perfectionism that were deeply-rooted in both medieval homiletics and Christian emblematics in New Spain.
