Nahuatl as Written: Lessons in Older Written Nahuatl, with Copious Examples and Texts
ISBN: 9780804742825 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Nahuatl was the primary native language of central Mexico both before and after the Spanish conquest. It is the Latin of the indigenous languages of the New World. Its tradition of alphabetic writing goes back to the middle years of the sixteenth century and embraces not only grammars, dictionaries, collections of preconquest lore, and works of religious instruction, but also, above all, a great mass of mundane writing by the Nahuas themselves for their own purposes. Though the past quarter century has seen a flourishing of ethnohistorical, philological, and grammatical studies based on this...

The Men of Cajamarca: A Social and Biographical Study of the First Conquerors of Peru
ISBN: 9780292735637 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 514 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In November 1532, a group of 168 Spaniards seized the Inca emperor Atahuallpa in the town of Cajamarca, in the northern Peruvian highlands. Their act, quickly taken as a symbol of the conquest of a vast empire, brought them unprecedented rewards in gold and silver; it made them celebrities, gave them first choice of positions of honor and power in the new Peru of the Spaniards, and opened up the possibility of a splendid life at home in Spain, if they so desired. Thus they became men of consequence, at the epicenter of a swift and irrevocable transformation of the Andean region. Yet before...

Annals of His Time: Don Domingo de San Antón Muñón Chimalpahin Quauhtlehuanitzin
ISBN: 9780804754545 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Among the native-language documents written by the Nahuas of central Mexico after Spanish contact, the annals genre gave them the freest rein in expressing themselves. The premier practitioner of the Nahuatl annals form was a writer of the early seventeenth century now known as Chimalpahin. Until recently, attention went primarily to his writings about precontact events. Now Chimalpahin's equally important writings about his own time have begun to come to the fore; the present volume is the first English edition of Chimalpahin's largest work, written during the first two decades of the...

Nahuas and Spaniards: Postconquest Central Mexican History and Philology
ISBN: 9780804719544 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Nahua Indians of central Mexico (often misleadingly called Aztecs after the quite ephemeral confederation that existed among them in late pre-Hispanic times) were the most populus of Mesoamerica's cultural-linguistic groups at the time of the Spanish conquest. They remained at the center of developments for centuries thereafter, since the bulk of the Hispanic population settled among them and they bore the brunt of cultural contact. This collection of thirteen essays (five of them previously unpublished) by the leading authority on the postconquest Nahuas and Nahua-Spanish interaction...
