Recuerdos del claustro is a work written by the Franciscan friar Luis Malo that, to this day, remains unpublished. The text consists in a chronicle on the Franciscan convents’ nationalization process in the Province of the Holy Gospel of Mexico in the 1860s. Luis Malo was a personal witness of what the religious class went through after the nationalization law of ecclesiastical goods came into effect. Furthermore, Malo had visited different convents before the State seized them. As appointed secretary of the Province of the Holy Gospel of Mexico, Malo was able to discuss the subject with other friars from his time.

Keywords : Nationalization of ecclesiastical goods; Franciscans; friar Luis Malo; chronicle; Franciscan library.
