Miguel de Quintana was among those arriving in New Mexico with
Diego de Vargas in 1694. He was active in his village of Santa Cruz
de la Canada, where he was a notary and secretary to the alcalde
mayor, functioning as a quasi-attorney. Being unusually literate,
he also wrote personal poetry for himself and religious plays for
his community. His conflicted life with local authorities began in
1734 when he was accused of being a heretic. What unfolded was a
personal drama of intrigue before the colonial Inquisition. In this
fascinating volume Lomeli and Colahan reveal Quintana's writings
from deep within Inquisition archives and provide a translation of
and critical look at Quintana's poetry and religious plays.
