Oxford encyclopedia of Mezoamerican cultures, July 10, 2013 (Francisco de Florencia; born 1619; died1695, priest and theologian. Florencia was born in St. Augustine, Florida; he received his early education at the Franciscan school there and then moved to Mexico City, where he studied at the Jesuit Colegio de San Ildefonso. At the age of twenty-three, he became a member of the Society of Jesus. In Mexico, Florencia taught philosophy and theology at the Colegio de San Pedro y San Pablo; appointed rector of the Colegio del Espiritu Santo in Puebla, and later, rector of the Colegio Maxim. Florencia is often described as an evangelist of the Virgin of Guadalupe. He served as an intermediary between the Mexican people and the church hierarchy in Rome. His books reflect the process of collective creation of forms of Mexican traditional religion and the search for cultural identity by mestizos and creoles in seventeenth-century Mexico)
