  • The Coming of the Franciscans to Venezuela in 1575

  • My dear friend, Father Carrocera, to whom the history of Venezuela and especially the history of the Franciscan Order in that country owes so much, had the happy idea of uniting in one article all that is known up to now, thanks in great part to the investigations of Father Carrocera himself, concerning the history of San Francisco in Caracas which, during almost three centuries as the center of the Franciscan Province of the Holy Cross of Hispaniola and Caracas, powerfully influenced the spiritual and cultural life of Venezuela. The church and friary of San Francisco not only are the best colonial monuments in Caracas but they are also witnesses of the most notable happenings and events of the republican period. In San Francisco of Caracas Bolivar received on October 14, 1814, the title of Liberator and in this church his remains were displayed in 1842 after they had been returned from San Pedro Alejandrino. The convent served until very recent times as the home of the University of Venezuela and at this moment it is the distinguished Palace of the Academies.

  • The 1961 Serra Award of the Americas

  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    11 December 2015, pp. 394-396

  • On December 28, 1961, the Academy of American Franciscan History presented the Serra Award of the Americas to Marcel Bataillon, Administrateur of the Collège de France, at a ceremony in the Academy building witnessed by about thirty-five guests, most of whom were Latin American historians. The occasion was dedicated to honoring one of the legendary figures in Latin American historical scholarship and Dr. Arturo Morales Carrion, formerly of the University of Puerto Rico and now Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, spoke briefly on behalf of historians in the field. Americo Castro, Professor Emeritus of Princeton University, spoke brilliantly of Bataillon, the humanist. In his reply, Professor Bataillon discussed with wit and great understanding a topic of special interest to him: the chroniclers of and the actors in the Pizarro Civil Wars.
