The tradition of painting history continued even after the Spanish Conquest, as the Spaniards accepted the pictorial histories as valid records of the past. Five Pre-Columbian and some 150 early colonial painted histories survive today. This copiously illustrated book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the Mexican painted history as an intellectual, documentary, and pictorial genre. Elizabeth Hill Boone explores how the Mexican historians conceptualized and painted their past and introduces the major pictorial records: the Aztec annals and cartographic histories and the Mixtec screenfolds and lienzos. Boone focuses her analysis on the kinds of stories told in the histories and on how the manuscripts work pictorially to encode, organize, and preserve these narratives. This twofold investigation broadens our understanding of how preconquest Mexicans used pictographic history for political and social ends. It also demonstrates how graphic writing systems created a broadly understood visual "language" that communicated effectively across ethnic and linguistic boundaries.Pictorial histories of the Aztecs and MixtecsManuscripts, NahuatlAztec paintingNahuatl languageWritingManuscripts, MixtecMixtec artMixtec languageWritingManuscripts, Nahuatl.Aztec painting.Nahuatl languageWriting.Manuscripts, Mixtec.Mixtec art.Mixtec languageWriting.972/.01Boone Elizabeth Hill1611220MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972434303321Stories in red and black4333751UNINA
