Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A Spaniard originally from Italy, the polymath Lorenzo Boturini Benaduci (17021753), known as Boturini, traveled to New Spain in 1736. Becoming fascinated by the Mesoamerican cultures of the New World, he collected and copied native writingsand learned Nahuatl, the language in which most of these documents were written. Boturinis incomparable collectionconfiscated, neglected, and dispersed after the Spanish crown condemned his intellectual pursuitsbecame the basis of his Idea of a New General History of North America. The volume, completed in 1746 and written almost entirely from memory, is presented here in English for the first time, along with the Catlogo, Boturinis annotated enumeration of the works he had gathered in New Spain.Stafford Pooles lucid and nuanced translation of the Idea and Catlogo allows Anglophone readers to fully appreciate Boturinis unique accomplishment and his unparalleled and sympathetic knowledge of the native peoples of eighteenthcentury Mexico. Pooles introduction puts Boturinis feat of memory and scholarship into historical context: Boturini was documenting the knowledge and skills of native Americans whom most Europeans were doing their utmost to denigrate. Through extensive, thoughtful annotations, Poole clarifies Boturinis references to GrecoRoman mythology, authors from classical antiquity, humanist works, ecclesiastical and legal sources, and terms in Nahuatl, Spanish, Latin, and Italian. In his notes to the Catlogo, he points readers to transcriptions and translations of the original materials in Boturinis archive that exist today.Invaluable for the new light they shed on Mesoamerican language, knowledge, culture, and religious practices, the Idea of a New General History of North America and the Catlogo also offer a rare perspective on the intellectual practices and prejudices of the Bourbon eraand on one of the most curious and singular minds of the time.
