Abstract

HERNANDEZ SOTELO, ANEL. The Hispanic Capuchins and their American Missions during the First Half of the 17 th Century. Front. hist. [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.1, pp.124-145.  Epub Jan 01, 2022. ISSN 2027-4688.  https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.2057.

The arrival of the Capuchin friars in America was preceded over by their missionary experiences in the Congo in the mid-17th century. From the apostolic point of view, it was also the first experience of mission in front of infidels, since the OFMcap until then had dedicated itself to the conversion of heretics in Europe. Cross stories intertwine these events with the first mission of the Capuchins to Darien and, later, to Cumanà. From the pens of Fray Juan de Oviedo and José Carabantes, we learn about the development of both transatlantic missions.

Keywords : Capuchins; missions; El Darién; Cumaná; 17th century.
