Colonial Cholti: The Seventeenthcentury Morn Manuscript,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
At the time of the Spanish conquest, Cholti was spoken throughout much of the southern Maya lowlands in what is presentday Petn and Chiquimula, and is closely related to that spoken by the authors of the Classic Maya inscriptions. This book presents for the first time a facsimile, transcription, English and Spanish translation, and grammatical analysis of the Morn Manuscript, a Colonialera document that provides the sole attestation of Cholti.In addition to its value as a chronicle of the Colonial period, the Morn Manuscript is crucial to our understanding of the Classic Maya, particularly their language, captured in thousands of intricately carved and painted hieroglyphic inscriptions. Robertson, Law, and Haertel, regarded as the ablest interpreters of Cholti now working in Mayan linguistics, provide not only a painstaking presentation of language data but also a detailed history of the manuscript itself. They discuss the documents probable authorship, investigate where and by whom Cholti was spoken at contact, and infer how speakers maintained their expressive capabilities in the face of colonial oppression. The transcribed Cholti texts feature an orthographically standardized version with a morphemebymorpheme gloss, a literal English translation that preserves many of the poetic structures and metaphors, and a flowing translation in both English and Spanish.The publication of this document marks a major contribution to the fields of Maya epigraphy, Mayan linguistics, ethnohistory, and Mesoamerican languages. It will serve as the definitive presentation of the Morn Manuscript and stand as a major contribution to further understanding the language of the Maya inscriptions in Mexico and Guatemala.
