"Just like Rosa": History and Metaphor in the Life of a Seventeenth-Century Peruvian Saint

Abstract

Jacinto Morán de Butrón, the seventeenth-century hagiogragpher of St. Mariana de Jesús, compared his beloved "Lily of Quito" to the world-famous St. Rose of Lima. The metaphor of Rose and Lily had broader implications, however, reflecting the author's conscious desire to advertise the merits of his native province of Quito as a worthy companion to the more affluent and esteemed Lima.
