Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Davida Malos Mo?olelo Hawai?i is the single most important description of preChristian Hawaiian culture. Malo, born in 1795, twentyfive years before the coming of Christianity to Hawai?i, wrote about everything from traditional cosmology and accounts of ancestral chiefs to religion and government to traditional amusements. The heart of this twovolume work is a new, critically edited text of Malos original Hawaiian, including the manuscript known as the Carter copy, handwritten by him and two helpers in the decade before his death in 1853. Volume 1, edited by Jeffrey Lyon, is entirely in Hawaiian, providing images of the original manuscript pages, side by side with the new edited text. Volume 2, edited and translated by Charles Langlas and Jeffrey Lyon, presents the edited Hawaiian text side by side with a new annotated English translation.Malos text has been edited at two levels. First, the Hawaiian has been edited through a careful comparison of all the extant manuscripts, attempting to restore Malos original text, with explanations of the editing choices given in the footnotes. Second, the orthography of the Hawaiian text has been modernized to help todays readers of Hawaiian by adding diacritical marks (okina and kahako, or glottal stop and macron, respectively) and the punctuation has been revised to signal the end of clauses and sentences. The new English translation attempts to remain faithful to the edited Hawaiian text while avoiding awkwardness in the English.Both volumes contain substantial introductions. The introduction to Volume 1 (in Hawaiian) discusses the manuscripts of Malos text and their history. The introduction to Volume 2 contains two essays that provide context to help the reader understand Malos Mo?olelo Hawai?i. Understanding Malos Mo?olelo Hawai?i describes the nature of Malos work, showing that it is the result of his dual Hawaiian and Western education. The Writing of the Mo?olelo Hawai?i discusses how the Carter copy was written and preserved, its relationship to other versions of the text, and Malos plan for the work as a whole. The introduction is followed by a new biography of Malo by Kanaka Maoli historian Noelani Arista, Davida Malo, a Hawaiian Life, which examines his life as a chiefly councilor and Hawaiian intellectual.
