  • This essay is concerned with the relationship between law and religion in the colonial period. The observation of criminal records of the secular justice in Córdoba del Tucumán is focused on two points: a) the use of the Bible and other religious texts to provide normative arguments and operative norms to litigants; and b) the use of ecclesiastic penalties and other canonic devices, as measures of "spiritual help" for secular courts, to prevent and resolve social conflicts. Documental evidences show us how important religion could be in the legal discussion at a secular court and confirms the discursive continuity and absolute integration of law (and its texts) and religion (and its texts, as well) in the Ius Commune era.
