"Es un intento de leer, en forma comprensiva (previa a toda crítica), aunque no necesariamente aprobatoria, los textos histórico-políticos de Alamán.

Traces important nuances in the evolution of this body. Sustained by strong archival research, this is a commendable history of a key part of the secular church"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
