Painted Words: Nahua Catholicism, Politics, and Memory in the Atzaqualco Pictorial Catechism
ISBN: 9780884024187 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In addition to inventive pictography... Painted Words presents a facsimile, decipherment, and analysis of a seventeenth-century pictographic catechism from colonial Mexico, preserv... |
