Millions of devotees acclaim the Nahuatl-language Nican mopohua account of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego as the foundational text of the Guadalupe tradition. A number of scholarly analyses have examined the Nican mopohua as a prime source for that tradition. But no previous study has focused on a theological examination of Luis Laso de la Vega’s Huei tlamahuiçoltica, in which the Nican mopohua was first published. Huei tlamahuiçoltica is the premier publication focused on Guadalupan catechesis of the Nahuas of central Mexico. It encompasses the Nican motecpana account of miracles attributed to Guadalupe’s intercession and the earliest published synopsis of Juan Diego’s life posed as a model for Christian discipleship. This chapter explores the evolution of natives’ devotion over the first century of the Guadalupe cult, as well as the strengths and limitations of priests’ evangelizing initiatives and catechetical treatises such as Huei tlamahuiçoltica.

Millions of devotees acclaim the Nahuatl-language Nican mopohua account of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego as the foundational text of the Guadalupe tradition. A number of scholarly analyses have also examined the Nican mopohua as a prime source for that tradition. But no previous study has focused on a theological examination of Luis Laso de la Vega's Huei tlamahuiçoltica (1649), in which the Nican mopohua was first published. Huei tlamahuiçoltica is the premier Guadalupan pastoral manual and encompasses other important material, such as the Nican motecpana account of miracles attributed to Guadalupe's intercession, and the earliest published synopsis of Juan Diego's life posed as a model for Christian discipleship. This article explores Laso de la Vega's contributions and the ongoing significance of his treatise for the development of theological works and pastoral ministries centered on Guadalupe.

Dioscorides's De materia medica from the first century AD was for about 1,800 years the most influential work and prime source in all matters concerning drugs and pharmacy. Originally written in Greek, the book was soon translated into Latin, thereby changing its structure from a systematic arrangement in five books according to the internal relationship of the drugs to a simply alphabetical order by the first letter of the name. Such an alphabetical order was also retained in the first printed version of the work in 1478. This edition was praised by recent researchers because of its supposed new material, by others, however, it was criticized severely with respect to its general set-up. The present paper discusses both opinions and substantiates some other neglected details regarding the 1478 edition. Besides the 1478 edition the amended new edition from 1512 is analysed too.

This introductory chapter for the book Theologies of Guadalupe: From the Era of Conquest to Pope Francis presents an overview of the origins, devotional evolution, and theologies of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It also provides an overview of the five chapters that comprise the book as well as its scholarly contribution to the current state of Guadalupan studies. The chapter summarizes two key developments from the colonial era to the first decades of the twenty-first century: theological analyses of Mexico’s most renowned religious tradition and an historical assessment of how the Guadalupe cult rose above all others in colonial New Spain and emerged from a local devotion to become a regional, national, and then international phenomenon. More broadly, the chapter outlines how theologies of Guadalupe present a critical inquiry in light of faith into the life of Mexico and its people from the preconquest era to the present.

Karwinskia humboldtiana is a poisonous plant that grows in semi desertic areas in north and central México. It produces several substances with different toxic effects. One of them designated T-514 damages severely the lung, kidney and liver, producing in the hepatoeyte large intracellular fat deposits and necrosis. Preliminary observations demonstrated that three is a decrease in the amount of peroxisomes in the hepatocytes of experimentally intoxicated rats and monkeys. To study the effect exerted by the T-514 on peroxisomes, a yeast model was selected, thus, three species: Saccha romices cerevisiae, Ilansenula polymorpha and Candida boidinii were used, because there is information concerning their peroxisome's morphology, enzyme content, biological behaviour under different culture conditions and biogenesis.
