Painting a Map of SixteenthCentury Mexico City: Land, Writing, and Native Rule,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In 1975, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University acquired an exceptional mid16thcentury map of Mexico City, which, until 1521, had been the capital of the Aztecs, the Nahuaspeaking peoples who dominated the Valley of Mexico. This extraordinary sixbythreefoot document, showing landholdings and indigenous rulers, has yielded a wealth of information about the artistic, linguistic, and material culture of the Nahua after the Spanish invasion. This book marks the first publication of both the complete map and the multidisciplinary research that it spurred.A distinguished team of specialists in history, art history, linguistics, and conservation science has worked together for nearly a decade; the scientific analysis of the map's pigments and paper in 2007 marks the most thorough examination of a pictorial document from early colonial Mexico to date. The result of their work, the essays in Painting a Map of SixteenthCentury Mexico, not only focuses on the map but also explores the situation of the indigenous people of Mexico City in the 16th century and their interactions with Europeans.Distributed for the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
