Description: This essay highlights the historical, political and intellectual significance of Cicero’s legacy in the colonial Americas in three distinct phases: (i) Cicero’s importance for early missionaries and chroniclers in the 1500s, following the first European incursions and conquests. (ii) The role of Cicero in colonial education and literary production, and some foundational rhetorical treatises produced in Mexico and Peru. (iii) Cicero’s notion of patria, recalled in some vernacular works from the 1600s became increasingly prevalent in Latin writing over the eighteenth century, and anticipated connections between his oeuvre and expressions of nationalism which developed with the onset of independence in the 1800s [Author]
