Desafío paleográfico. Testamento del año 1581 en Puebla de los Ángeles. Por más que miro no logro descifrar la naturaleza del testador, Hernán Velázquez Gasca. ¿Me echáis un cable? ¡Gracias!

Food history friends - does anyone have any recommendations of recent(ish) papers on atole and its culinary and social uses in early modern New Spain? Thanks!

Latin as a living language in 16th century Europe. In 1552 the inquisitors in Lisbon were interrogating an Englishman accused of sacrilege and because the Englishman "could not speak Portuguese well and knew Latin, they asked him questions in Latin." digitarq.arquivos.pt/.../0b68019c....

Nope, but I do like how enthusiastic (histrionic?) he could be!

because you need further consolation, and you wish to come to me, then come, Leo'. No way to know for now, but it seems to me a nod to Pope Francis and his legacy. #HabemusPapam #Conclave2025 #Papa #popefrancis #popeleo

It might seem that Leo XIV is an unoriginal name, but it isn’t. St. Francis of Assisi to his confessor and companion, Brother Leo: 'do as will be most agreeable to our Lord, and follow in His footsteps and His poverty. And if it should be necessary for your soul,
