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. 517 3 $aPictorial histories of the Aztecs and Mixtecs 606 $aManuscripts, Nahuatl 606 $aAztec painting 606 $aNahuatl language$xWriting 606 $aManuscripts, Mixtec 606 $aMixtec art 606 $aMixtec language$xWriting 615 0$aManuscripts, Nahuatl. 615 0$aAztec painting. 615 0$aNahuatl language$xWriting. 615 0$aManuscripts, Mixtec. 615 0$aMixtec art. 615 0$aMixtec language$xWriting. 676 $a972/.01 700 $aBoone$b Elizabeth Hill$01611220 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972434303321 996 $aStories in red and black$94333751 997 $aUNINA
