Staging Christ's Passion in Eighteenth-Century Nahua Mexico
Staging Christ's Passion in Eighteenth-Century Nahua Mexico
Staging Christ's Passion in Eighteenth-Century Nahua Mexico explores the Passion plays performed in Nahuatl (Aztec) by Indigenous Mexicans living under Spanish colonial occupation, a unique manifestation of the theatrical performances of Christ's final travails that arose in twelfth-century Europe.--Provided by publisher
By custom and devotion to the Passion of Christ our lord”
The emotive fixation on the Passion of Christ that developed in Western European Christianity during the later Middle Ages passed into the devotional practices of Nahuas and other Indigenous people in New Spain. A Nahuatl-language Passion play tradition, recorded in six surviving variants from approximately the first half of the eighteenth century, reveals how Nahuas adopted and adapted the Passion story, aligning it, for example, with their view…
N ancy F arriss . Tongues of Fire
Nancy Farriss takes the title of Tongues of Fire: Language and Evangelization in Colonial Mexico from Acts 2:3, which states that “tongues of fire” appeared above the heads of Christ’s apostles when the Holy Spirit empowered them to preach the gospel in diverse languages. The Dominican friars charged with evangelizing the Southern Mexican region of Oaxaca had to learn to speak and write the necessary languages without such a miraculous interventi…
Sustaining the Divine in Mexico Tenochtitlan
Jonathan Truitt explores the impact of Christian evangelization not so much on the hearts and minds of colonial Nahuas as on their prestige and their purses. Focusing on the Nahua altepetl of Mexico Tenochtitlan (that is, excluding the northern sector, Tlatelolco) from the coming of the first Franciscans to the close of the Hapsburg era, Truitt explores how the city's residents developed their own means of engaging with the Christian sacred despi…

The Native Conquistador
Presidential Address
Formulating the concept of "ethno-ethnohistory," Ray Fogelson urged ethnohistorians to seek out indigenous people's perspectives on their own pasts, which might differ from Western academic modes of representing history. In this article, slightly expanded from my 2014 Presidential Address at the American Society for Ethnohistory's Indianapolis conference, I examine two indigenous-authored texts from colonial Mexico that adopt a Western discourse-…
The "Little Doctrine" And Indigenous Catechesis in New Spain
This paper traces the history of a catechetical quiz widely used in colonial New Spain. A succinct summary of Jerónimo de Ripalda's catechism directed at less "capable" Christians, the text makes its first appearance in works published in the 1630s by secular clergy posted in indigenous communities. Jesuit father Bartolomé Castaño, laboring in the colony's northern missions, published the questionnaire's most frequently repeated version in 1644. …

Jaime Lara's central thesis in this well-researched and copiously illustrated volume is that the sixteenth-century mendicant architectural complexes of colonial Mexico embodied the friars' eschatological and millennial ideas to an extent previously unrecognized. The eschatological theme is familiar from earlier studies: the friars who evangelized New Spain tied their work to an imminent end time, heralded by the discovery of the New World and to …

Primeros Memoriales
Holy Wednesday
Identified only in 1986, the Nahuatl Holy Week play is the earliest known dramatic script in any Native American language. In Holy Wednesday, Louise Burkhart presents side-by-side English translations of the Nahuatl play and its Spanish source. An accompanying commentary analyzes the differences between the two versions to reveal how the native author altered the Spanish text to fit his own aesthetic sensibility and the broader discursive univers…

The Virgin Mary has been an inspiration to more people than any other woman who ever lived.

In this important book, a world-renowned scholar who is the author of numerous books-including the best-selling Jesus Through the Centuries-tells how Mary has been depicted and v…

The Solar Christ in Nahuatl Doctrinal Texts of Early Colonial Mexico
The friars who ministered to the Nahua (Aztec) Indians incorporated into their Nahuatl teachings Old World symbolism which used the sun as a metaphor or type for Christ. The solar Christ had different connotations in Nahuatl because of differences between Christian and Nahua views of cosmology, morality, history, and the symbolism of sun and light. Indians today view Christ as a solar deity; Christian teaching may be one source of this identifica…
