The handwritten and printed missionary books produced in the Spanish viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru were key instruments designed to help study Indigenous languages in order to efficiently teach religious doctrine to local communities unfamiliar with European culture and religion. This volume considers these missionary books as physical and social objects and illuminates how a variety of factors determines their physical appearance, structure, and form, which in turn shape and guide the interpretation of their contents: people involved in its making; geographical and social circumstances and conditions of production; technologies, materials, and tools; genre and function(s) of the books; and intended readership, modes of distribution, and readerly responses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zanna Van Loon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463724176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463724173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Zanna Van Loon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451208454399,"sku":"9789463724173","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a36d48e2-8945-4cb9-8608-ea7703d74155.jpg?v=1735876785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-early-modern-production-of-zanna-van-loon-9789463724173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
