Las glosas del Códice borbónico, o cómo leer un libro nahua después de la conquista
El artículo analiza las glosas del documento pictográfico conocido como Códice borbónico en su conjunto y en relación con las imágenes pictográficas. El contenido mántico y litúrgico del manuscrito, expresado en los cortos textos alfabéticos redactados por españoles a partir de la consulta con sabios indígenas, refleja la cercanía del Códice borbónico a textos contemporáneos como los llamados códices transcritos u otros documentos en español y ná…

Mesoamerican Codices: Calendrical knowledge and ceremonial practice in Indigenous religion and history
Religious manuscripts from ancient and early colonial Mexico offer a direct pathway into indigenous worldviews through the uniquely Mesoamerican medium of pictography. During the thousands of years preceding Spanish invasion, a complex calendrical system developed in the region, forming the basic organizing principle of this pictorial language. This book offers new interpretations and insights on both calendrics and the related iconography of Mes…
The Fame and Fortune of Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos, Painter of Santafé, New Granada
The article addresses related issues surrounding the artistic biography and production of Gregorio Vásquez, the most important painter of colonial Colombia, active in the latter part of the seventeenth and the first decade of the eighteenth century. Vásquez is a unique figure in Latin American art historiography because local historians researched and wrote about his life and works since at least the nineteenth century. His vast catalogue consist…
Muisca cloth and image in early New Granada
La Virgen de Chiquinquirá y la religión muisca
El artículo propone un nuevo acercamiento y análisis de la imagen devocional más famosa de Colombia, la Virgen de Chiquinquirá.

Con base en las teorías …

Insignia of Rank in the Nahua World: From the Fifteenth to the Seventeenth Century
Justyna Olko’s Insignia of Rank in the Nahua World is a follow-up to her previous work on the many material forms in which the Nahuas of central Mexico expressed status and rank in body adornments
Depicting the Mesoamerican Spirit World
In this study I argue that modern ethnographic data can be used in the interpretation of ancient Mesoamerican art and pictography, in particular, beyond iconographic analysis. Ancient painted texts were read in a performative way, with recitation, enunciation, and context playing a fundamental role in conveying meaning. While normally pictography is approached as a provider of content information, the way meaning is encoded and decoded is also in…
