Summary:The current paper examines some of the footprints made by the body, as encountered in several of the most important 16th-century Franciscan texts. The overall objective of enlarging upon how defined, imagined, represented and punished the body was among some of the first missionaries in ancient Mesoamerica will be addressed by using the following methodologies: the fundamental elements of knowledge about others, the scenario of salvation and reason by example, the essential part of an interpretive framework that justified the conquest, and being subjected to violence due to non-compliance with the Western moral canon.
