EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases couplets in the indigenous Copan language of the Indians in Guatemala from the 1540s. The manuscript, written by Fray Luis de Cancer who passed away in 1549, offers a glimpse into the missionary work and evangelization efforts carried out by Dominican missionaries during the sixteenth century in the New World. Fray Luis de Cancer was known for his nonviolent preaching among Native Americans, emphasizing peaceful conversion and cultural exchange. This reproduction of his work dates back to the eighteenth century, highlighting its enduring significance and historical value. The intricate script and poetic verses on display reflect a rich tapestry of religious teachings, linguistic diversity, and cross-cultural interactions that characterized this period of colonization and Christianization in Latin America. The words inscribed on these pages serve as a testament to the resilience and creativity of indigenous peoples amidst changing political landscapes. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion of traditions, beliefs, and languages that shaped the identity of Guatemalan society. It is a reminder of our shared history and interconnectedness with native communities across Central America, honoring their contributions to our collective heritage.
