Aztec Pictorial Histories: Records without Words
Who they are and what they wear: Aztec costumes for European eyes
Seeking Indianness: Christoph Weiditz, the Aztecs, and feathered Amerindians
Christoph Weiditz's Trachtenbuch (costume book) of c. 1529–1530 pictures the dress, physical characteristics, and activities of people of varied social ranks and occupations from different regions of the Netherlands and Spain, including the Aztecs who accompanied Hernando Cortés to Spain in 1528 and joined the court of Charles V. Responding to the intense European interest in regional dress, Weiditz's thirteen paintings of indigenous Americans of…

The Petroglyphic Prayers on the Sun Stone of Motecuhzoma Ilhuicamina
The Sun Stone of Motecuhzoma Ilhuicamina is one of the major monuments revealed by excavations in and around the Aztec Templo Mayor since 1978. Featuring the sun disk on its top surface and the Mexica conquest of 11 enemy polities on its cylindrical sides, it is considered a gladiatorial stone, similar in both iconography and function to the later Stone of Tizoc. While Tizoc's stone locates its conquest scenes between earth and sky bands, this su…
Presidential Lecture: Discourse and Authority in Histories Painted, Knotted, and Threaded
This essay argues for the study of histories that are executed in graphic registers other than alphabetic writing, specifically histories that are painted, knotted, and threaded. As the products of the recording systems of the indigenous people themselves, they are inherently closer to indigenous epistemology than are alphabetic documents. They reveal the indigenous framework for conceptualizing and recording the past. As objects, they are the si…

Lord Eight Wind of Suchixtlan and the Heroes of Ancient Oaxaca: Reading History in the Codex Zouche-Nuttall. Robert Lloyd Williams
Cycles of Time and Meaning in the Mexican Books of Fate
In communities throughout precontact Mesoamerica, calendar priests and diviners relied on pictographic almanacs to predict the fate of newborns, to guide people in choosing marriage partners and auspicious wedding dates, to know when to plant and harvest crops, and to be successful in many of life's activities. As the Spanish colonized Mesoamerica in the sixteenth century, they made a determined effort to destroy these books, in which the Aztec a…
Stories in Red and Black: Pictorial Histories of the Aztecs and Mixtecs
The Aztecs and Mixtecs of ancient Mexico recorded their histories pictorially in images painted on hide, paper, and cloth. 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 pai…
The “Coatlicues” at the Templo Mayor
The colossal “Coatlicue” sculpture has usually been interpreted as a representation of the female supernatural Coatlicue (Serpents Her Skirt) who gave birth to the Mexica patron deity Huitzilopochtli, or it has been identified as the cult figure of Cihuacoatl (Woman Serpent) or Tlaltecuhtli (Earth Lord). This paper offers an alternative reading of the monumental statue, one that recognizes the existence of at least three nearly identical “Coatlic…
