Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Neste livro, o historiador Gustavo A. Mendonça dos Santos analisa a justiça eclesiástica do bispado de Pernambuco durante o século XVIII e como seus oficiais colaboraram com a Inquisição de Lisboa, apresentando uma análise da estrutura administrativa e jurídica do bispado e do seu funcionamento no período colonial, indicando quais eram as funções dos diversos oficiais da justiça eclesiástica, suas carreiras e como as diferentes instâncias da justiça diocesana se relacionavam. O estudo demonstra que o bispado de Pernambuco teve uma nítida prática de colaboração com a Inquisição de Lisboa, visitas pastorais foram realizadas, denúncias recolhidas, inquirições foram concretizadas por vigários gerais ou vigários da vara e assim foram obtidas informações sobre casos suspeitos de heresia em diversas partes do bispado, informações que atravessaram o Atlântico e auxiliaram a Inquisição na sua caçada contra os "hereges". Este livro foi resultado da tese de doutorado defendida pelo autor em 2019 no Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da UFPE, sendo uma contribuição para a História da Igreja e da Justiça Eclesiástica no Brasil.
