notes: 
Appointed archbishop of Lima in 1580, Toribio Alfonso Mogrovejo traveled Peru on foot baptizing and confirming the natives, among them Rosa of Lima, Francisco Solano [Solanus], and Martin Porrés. He was canonized in 1726. In medieval universities, the ceremony by which a new master or doctor received his degree included the placing of the biretta on his head. Mogrovejo was made professor of law at the University of Salamanca. This book shows scenes from his life.
