The general editor of the series is Lewis Hanke from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Richard E. Greenleaf (1930-2011) was an eminent scholar of the Mexican Inquisition and former director of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University. Born on May 6, 1930, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, he attended the University of New Mexico for his BA, MA, and Ph.D. degrees. Greenleaf began his teaching career in 1955 at the University of the Americas in Mexico City, serving as chair of the Department of History and International Studies, the dean of its graduate school, and later academic vice president. He moved to Tulane University, New Orleans in 1969 and became director of the Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American Studies the next year. Richard E. Greenleaf was a prolific scholar. He was the author of 11 monographs and was the foremost authority on the Mexican Inquisition. A major book contribution was an edited collection called The Roman Catholic Church in Colonial Latin America (1971). Greenleaf was the author of nearly 50 chapters and articles in the areas of his expertise which included: the Mexican Inquisition, colonial church history, the Borderlands, Spanish Louisiana, Mexican Freemasonry, and colonial labor systems. Richard Greenleaf has done Latin Americanists a real service in gathering these twenty-three very enlightening and revealing selections on the story of the Church in the colonial period. They run the gamut of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and the Bourbon centuries, and close with a trio on colonial arts and letters. Latin Americanists are even more in his debt for the excellent introduction which goes far beyond a simple quick summary of the contents of the several pieces; it constitutes a crisp and scholarly statement of the main aspects of the Church story. And to this he adds a full bibliography, presented with critical comment. One of the more valuable of the Borzoi series! First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
