En este texto se abordan algunas explicaciones relevantes dadas en Nueva España durante el periodo colonial sobre la causa de los "temblores de tierra", con la finalidad de advertir las dificultades para prescindir en ellas de las fantasías medievales y las autoridades teológicas. Se observa cómo, a pesar del paulatino distanciamiento de la fe y la razón y la ciencia y la religión, la conexión entre los terremotos, los pecados humanos y los castigos divinos se conservan.
Abstract
This text touches on some relevant explanations given during New Spain’s colonial period for "earth tremors" in order to draw attention to the difficulties found to dispense with medieval fantasies and theological authorities in them. Despite the efforts toward the gradual separation between faith and reason, science and religion, it can be observed how the connection among earthquakes, human sins and divine punishment was maintained.
