During the thousands of years preceding Spanish invasion, a complex calendrical system developed in the region, forming the basic organising principle of this pictorial language. This book offers new interpretations and insights on both calendrics and the related iconography of Mesoamerican religious manuscripts, based on the author's field work in the Sierra Mazateca in northern Oaxaca. Detailed calendrical analysis is included, along with audio recordings of chants, prayers, and ceremonies available as an online download. The author's novel approach questions accepted notions of divination, chronology, and the dichotomy between ritual and historical time. 410 0$aBAR international series ;$v3085. 606 $aManuscripts, Mexican (Pre-Columbian) 606 $aIndians of Mexico$xReligion$vSources 615 0$aManuscripts, Mexican (Pre-Columbian) 615 0$aIndians of Mexico$xReligion 676 $a091'.0972 700 $aFrassani$b Alessia$f1974-$01379014 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735576003321 996 $aMesoamerican codices$93418414 997 $aUNINA
