The book is the first provincial vision of the contributions of the Jesuits to the culture, art and architecture to colonial Antioquia, Colombia. The Jesuits created in 1727 the first public school of Antioquia, becoming the local promoters of humanism, ecclesiastic sciences and religious art. The edition includes a section with the architectural history of the convent and church of Santa B̀rbara, a series of constructions that conform the former Jesuist complex of the Colegio de Antioquia. --Provided by vendor.
