Rethinking the Reverse of the Codex Cospi
This article reinterprets the reverse of the Codex Cospi , a Postclassic Central Mexican manuscript. Challenging long-standing views that the iconography in its plates refers to hunting rituals or protective ceremonies against poisonous animals, the article argues that they instead record ritual protocols for the presentation of offerings to divine effigies enshrined in temples. Through a comparison with other codices, archaeological data, and hi…

The Wind God and the Descent of the Tzitzimitl
The Friedenstein Palace in Gotha, Germany, holds a Late Postclassic Mesoamerican bird head sculpture made of wood encrusted with precious stone and shell mosaic. Although known since the nineteenth century, scholars have not given the artifact the attention it deserves. Based on observations made during a thorough in situ inspection, we provide a detailed description of the object, stressing both technological and aesthetic aspects, documented th…
Creating the Wind
This article explores how the Nahua of late Postclassic Mesoamerica (1200–1521 CE) created living and material embodiments of their wind god constructed on the basis of sensory experiences that shaped their conception of this divinized meteorological phenomenon. In this process, they employed chromatic and design devices, based on a wide range of natural elements, to add several layers of meaning to the human, painted, and sculpted supports dress…

Making and Using Colors in the Manufacture of Nahua Codices
El Lugar del Color en la mitología mesoamericana. Del destino de Quetzalcóatl a la epopeya de 8 Venado
En la mitología mesoamericana, varios espacios llevan el nombre de "Lugar del Color". Este ensayo investiga sus rasgos característicos y su función en los mitos, mediante el estudio de la documentación colonial del México Central y de los códices prehispánicos de la Mixteca. Con este ejercicio comparativo -enfocado principalmente en la gesta de los héroes Quetzalcóatl de Tollan y 8 Venado Garra de Jaguar- se descubre que además de estar asociados…
The Materiality of Color in Pre-Columbian Codices
This article explores the materiality of the colors of some Nahua codices from pre-Columbian Mexico, comparing data obtained from two bodies of evidence: scientific investigation—through macroscopic inspection and physicochemical studies—and historical accounts. In doing so, this article shows that the Colonial period literature contributes to the understanding of the creation process of the codices and their chromatic palettes, in particular reg…
El color en los códices prehispánicos del México Central
Este artículo, fundamentado en la investigación de Steve Pincus sobre la revolución, se embarca en la novedosa tarea de comparar las revoluciones mexicanas de 1810 y 1910. El artículo explora amplios paralelismos entre ambos levantamientos y destaca características significativas de las revoluciones mexicanas que los estudiosos han pasado por alto. El Ensayo político sobre el reino de la Nueva España de Alexander von Humboldt resultó influyente e…
