Royal octavo (9 ¼" x 6 ¼") issued in gold cloth with black lettering to spine. Translated and edited by Arthur J O Anderson, Frances Berdan and James Lockhart with a linguistic essay by Ronald W Langacker. From the library of George M Foster. UCLA Latin American Studies Series volume 27. 1st edition. The main sources of classical Nahuatl studies have been splendid, elaborately illustrated documents fully deserving their status as "codices." Their contents, often pre-Columbian in emphasis, are legends, annals, chronicles and poems. Few are aware that there is another vein of Nahuatl texts equal rich and very different, more embedded in post-conquest times, more reflective of the dynamics of social and cultural change. A mass of records concerning the everyday business of the Indian community of colonial Mexico exists in Nahuatl wills, land transactions, municipal council minutes, local tax records, and a rich variety of petitions and correspondence. This vast resource has been doubly out of the reach of the various disciplines history, anthropology, linguistics to which it would be of interest. Not only are the texts scattered and unpublished, but their forms and vocabulary are too unfamiliar to allow for their ready use. With the present selection of representative texts, transcribed, translated, and to some extent commented upon, the editors hope to draw attention to this second world of classical Nahuatl, and also provide a key with which scholars can open it up. Despite the initial difficulty, many of the records are standardized in the extreme, much like the Spanish one of which they are patterned and full understanding of a single model document will go far toward making other quickly comprehensible. George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in. Condition: Foster's stamp on front end paper.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Beyond the Codices: The Nahua View of Colonial Mexico explores a lesser-known yet rich corpus of Nahuatl texts that reflect the dynamic cultural and social changes experienced by indigenous communities in colonial Mexico. While much of classical Nahuatl scholarship has focused on pre-Columbian legends, annals, and poetry--often presented in elaborately illustrated 'codices'--this study turns its attention to everyday records such as wills, land transactions, municipal council minutes, tax records, and petitions. These documents provide a more immediate and practical perspective on post-conquest life, revealing how indigenous communities navigated the colonial system and adapted their traditions to new realities. The book seeks to make these scattered, unpublished, and linguistically challenging records more accessible by presenting a selection of transcribed, translated, and annotated texts. This 'second world' of Nahuatl documentation, though initially daunting due to its standardized and legalistic forms, can be understood more easily once a single model document is mastered. Drawing on key sources such as the Coyoacan papers from Mexico's Archivo General de la Nación and UCLA's McAfee Collection, the authors aim to provide scholars with the tools to unlock this overlooked repository of indigenous colonial history. Their work underscores the importance of these texts in broadening our understanding of the complex interplay between indigenous and colonial cultures. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1976.…
