Bernardino De Sahagun: First Anthropologist,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
He was sent from Spain on a religious crusade to Mexico to detect the sickness of idolatry, but Bernardino de Sahagn (c. 14991590) instead became the first anthropologist of the New World. The Franciscan monk developed a deep appreciation for Aztec culture and the Nahuatl language. In this biography, Miguel LenPortilla presents the life story of a fascinating man who came to Mexico intent on changing the traditions and cultures he encountered but instead ended up working to preserve them, even at the cost of persecution.Sahagn was responsible for documenting numerous ancient texts and other native testimonies. He persevered in his efforts to study the native Aztecs until he had developed his own research methodology, becoming a pioneer of anthropology. Sahagn formed a school of Nahua scribes and labored with them for more than sixty years to transcribe the preconquest language and culture of the Nahuas. His rich legacy, our most comprehensive account of the Aztecs, is contained in his Primeros Memoriales (1561) and Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espaa (1577).Near the end of his life at age 91, Sahagn became so protective of the Aztecs that when he died, his former Indian students and many others felt deeply affected.Translated into English by Mauricio J. Mixco, LenPortillas absorbing account presents Sahagn as a complex individuala man of his times yet a pioneer in many ways.
