Abstract
La Capilla del Rosario del antiguo convento de Santo Domingo en la ciudad de los Ángeles (Puebla, México) fue consagrada el 16 de abril de 1690. Los actos públicos y sermones para celebrar la apertura de la capilla, así como la descripción simbólica del edificio, fueron impresos meses después de la consagración, en un volumen titulado Octava Maravilla del Nuevo Mundo. Esta investigación propone una relación entre el título del libro, la obra material de la capilla y los textos impresos, similar a la estructura de un emblema: inscriptio, pictura y subscriptio; a partir del análisis de algunos pasajes de este impreso que evidencian el orgullo y la cultura erudita de los autores dentro del contexto de la cultura simbólica-emblemática de la Puebla virreinal del siglo XVII.

This paper propose a relationship between the title, “Octava Maravilla”, the building of the chapel and the printed texts, like the emblem estructure: inscriptio, pictura y subscriptio, through the analysis of some paragraphs that show the pride and erudition of the authors within the context of symbolic-emblematic culture in seventeenth-century viceregal Puebla.
