The pictorial books they created served the Spanish as aids to evangelization and governance, but their content came from the native intellectuals, painters, and writers who helped to create them. Examining the nine major surviving texts, preeminent Latin American art historian Elizabeth Hill Boone explores how indigenous artists and writers documented their ancestral culture. Analyzing the texts as one distinct corpus, Boone shows how they combined European and indigenous traditions of documentation and considers questions of motive, authorship, and audience. For Spanish authorities, she shows, the books revealed Aztec ideology and practice, while for the indigenous community, they preserved venerated ways of pictorial expression as well as rhetorical and linguistic features of ancient discourses. The first comparative analysis of these encyclopedias, Descendants of Aztec Pictography analyzes how the painted compilations embraced artistic traditions from both sides of the Atlantic. 606 $aAztecs$zMexico$vEncyclopedias$y16th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAztecs$zMexico$vEncyclopedias$y16th century$xAuthorship 606 $aAztecs$zMexico$vEncyclopedias$y16th century$vPictorial works 606 $aPicture-writing$zMexico$y16th century 606 $aNahuatl language$xWriting$xHistory 610 $aAztec, art history, Aztec history, Indigenous cultures, Aztec society, cosmology, colonization, colonial history, European art history, Aztec art, Spanish conquest. 615 0$aAztecs$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAztecs$xAuthorship. 615 0$aAztecs 615 0$aPicture-writing 615 0$aNahuatl language$xWriting$xHistory. 676 $a972.01 700 $aBoone$b Elizabeth Hill$01611220 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820220103321 996 $aDescendants of Aztec Pictography$94097395 997 $aUNINA
