Painted in iconic script ("picture writing"), the Codex Xolotl, the Quinatzin Map, and the Tlohtzin Map appear to retain and emphasize both pre-Hispanic content and also pre-Hispanic form, despite being produced almost a generation after the Aztecs surrendered to Hernán Cortés in 1521. Yet, as this pioneering study makes plain, the reality is far more complex. Eduardo de J. Douglas offers a detailed critical analysis and historical contextualization of the manuscripts to argue that colonial economic, political, and social concerns affected both the content of the three Tetzcocan pictorial histories and their archaizing pictorial form. As documents composed by indigenous people to assert their standing as legitimate heirs of the Aztec rulers as well as loyal subjects of the Spanish Crown and good Catholics, the Tetzcocan manuscripts qualify as subtle yet shrewd negotiations between indigenous and Spanish systems of signification and between indigenous and Spanish concepts of real property and political rights. By reading the Tetzcocan manuscripts as calculated responses to the changes and challenges posed by Spanish colonization and Christian evangelization, Douglas's study significantly contributes to and expands upon the scholarship on central Mexican manuscript painting and recent critical investigations of art and political ideology in colonial Latin America. 410 0$aWilliam & Bettye Nowlin series in art, history, and culture of the Western Hemisphere. 606 $aManuscripts, Nahuatl$zMexico$zTexcoco de Mora 606 $aAztec art$zMexico$zTexcoco de Mora 606 $aAztecs$zMexico$zTexcoco de Mora$xHistory$vSources 606 $aPalaces$zMexico$zTexcoco de Mora 607 $aTexcoco de Mora (Mexico)$xHistory$vSources 607 $aTexcoco de Mora (Mexico)$xAntiquities 615 0$aManuscripts, Nahuatl 615 0$aAztec art 615 0$aAztecs$xHistory 615 0$aPalaces 676 $a972/.52 700 $aDouglas$b Eduardo de J.$f1957-$01495176 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791471303321 996 $aIn the palace of Nezahualcoyotl$93719185 997 $aUNINA
