Eight codices have survived from the Mixtec peoples of ancient Oaxaca, Mexico; a part of one of them, the Codex Zouche-Nuttall, is the subject of this book. As a group, the Mixtec codices contain the longest detailed histories and royal genealogies known for any indigenous people in the western hemisphere. The Codex Zouche-Nuttall offers a unique window into how the Mixtecs themselves viewed their social and political cosmos without the bias of western European interpretation. At the same time, however, the complex calendrical information recorded in the Zouche-Nuttall has made it resistant to historical, chronological analysis, thereby rendering its narrative obscure. In this pathfinding work, Robert Lloyd Williams presents a methodology for reading the Codex Zouche-Nuttall that unlocks its essentially linear historical chronology. Recognizing that the codex is a combination of history in the European sense and the timelessness of myth in the Native American sense, he brings to vivid life the history of Lord Eight Wind of Suchixtlan (AD 935?1027), a ruler with the attributes of both man and deity, as well as other heroic Oaxacan figures. Williams also provides context for the history of Lord Eight Wind through essays dealing with Mixtec ceremonial rites and social structure, drawn from information in five surviving Mixtec codices. 410 0$aLinda Schele series in Maya and pre-Columbian studies. 606 $aManuscripts, Mixtec 606 $aMixtec Indians$xHistory 606 $aMixtec Indians$xKings and rulers 606 $aMixtec language$xWriting 606 $aPicture-writing$zMexico 615 0$aManuscripts, Mixtec. 615 0$aMixtec Indians$xHistory. 615 0$aMixtec Indians$xKings and rulers. 615 0$aMixtec language$xWriting. 615 0$aPicture-writing 676 $a972/.01 700 $aWilliams$b Robert Lloyd$01530019 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791139803321 996 $aLord Eight Wind of Suchixtlan and the heroes of ancient Oaxaca$93774731 997 $aUNINA
