Listen Well”
Book 12 of the Florentine Codex provides the most comprehensive Indigenous account of the Spanish conquest of Mexico (1519–21). This article analyzes the Nahuatl-language alphabetic texts and images in book 12 to shed light on Nahua aural memory of the encounter between the Mexica and Spaniards, the outbreak of war, and the consequences of conquest. The work shows that Nahua authors and artists described and represented sonic experiences as a rhe…

In Aztec and Maya Apocalypses: Old World Tales of Doom in a New World Setting, Mark Christensen examines the transfer and transformation of teachings on the apocalpyse from Europe to colonial Mexico. The study provides context with an overview of the evolution of the apocalypse from its origins in Judaic thought through its expression in late medieval and early modern Europe to its introduction in the Americas. Drawing on his deep knowledge of Ca…
What are heritage values? Integrating natural and cultural heritage into environmental valuation
There are strong links between heritage and the environment yet, heritage is not fully included in existing ecosystem‐based frameworks. Different understandings of heritage values exist, and heritage values are not yet related to key value categories in environmental values research. To address this gap and facilitate a common values‐based approach, we develop a novel framework that links heritage and environmental values. First, we expand the un…

Tourism and coastal & maritime cultural heritage
Coastal and Maritime Cultural Heritage (CMCH) is an important asset in coastal areas. However, this heritage has been exposed to several environmental and human-created threats. This paper presents three European coastal regions with relevant CMCH and important tourism destinations: Ria de Aveiro (Portugal), the Small Isles (Scotland, UK) and Marsaxlokk (Malta). The paper draws attention to the challenges to CMCH they face, the dynamics between t…
Transboundary cooperation and mechanisms for Maritime Spatial Planning implementation. Simnorat project
Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is gaining importance as a new process for the governance of seas and oceans, as maritime nations exercise greater management over their territorial waters and, in many cases, over exclusive economic zones that span a larger area. The purpose of this planning is to reverse the environmental degradation of the seas and facilitate the sustainable use of marine resources, both for mature uses such as fishing and navig…

Telling History in Feathers
Nahua rulers, nobles, and warriors of the late postclassic and early colonial periods used feathers and elaborate feather costumes in a variety of political and sacred rituals. They acquired these prestige items through gift exchange, trade, conquest, and tribute. This article explores a series of meanings that Nahuas attached to birds, plumes, and feather objects when worn on the body, exchanged in rituals, and discussed in historical accounts. …
Introduction
Birds and their feathers have long occupied a unique place in the social, cultural, and intellectual life of the Americas. This was particularly so in Mesoamerica, where ancient civilizations and colonial societies developed extensive knowledge of birds, their behaviors and habitats, and their vibrant plumage. This special issue brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines, including art history, history, and biology, to promote discuss…

Caterina Pizzigoni contributes to this rich vein of ethnohistory with The Life Within: Local Indigenous Society in Mexico’s Toluca Valley, 1650–1800, a meticulous study of the Valley of Toluca based on the translation and analysis of over two hundred Nahua…
The Woman Who Turned Into a Jaguar, and Other Narratives of Native Women in Archives of Colonial Mexico
The Woman Who Turned Into a Jaguar examines gender relations in indigenous societies of central Mexico and Oaxaca from the 1520s to the 1750s, focusing mainly on the Nahua, Ñudzahui (Mixtec), Bènizàa (Zapotec), and Ayuk (Mixe) people.

Historiography of New Spain
This article discusses intellectual, legal, urban, environmental, economic, and religious history and studies of Spaniards, blacks, and slavery in New Spain. The largest section deals with the Amerindian population, particularly with a corpus of historical studies that, employing indigenous-language sources, have unveiled the long-term survival and adaptation of native culture after the European conquest
The "Original Conquest" of Oaxaca
This article features the transcription, translation, and analysis of two primordial titles, written in the Mixtec and Nahuatl languages, and a large map. Two indigenous communities in the Valley of Oaxaca attempted to lay claim to disputed territory by presenting these competing "titles,"ostensibly written in the 1520s, to Spanish authorities in the 1690s. The titles present each community's account of the Spanish Conquest of Oaxaca and subseque…
The Devil and Deviance in Native Criminal Narratives From Early Mexico
In 1686, Marcial de la Cruz, a Zapotec from the community of San Francisco Cajonos, confessed that he had murdered his wife, Catalina María, two years earlier. Tired of running from authorities, burdened with a guilty conscience, and concerned about the house and land that he had left behind, Marcial returned to tell his fantastic story. He recalled how on the day of the murder Catalina had convinced native officials from the neighboring communit…
The Story of Guadalupe
The devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the most important elements in the development of a specifically Mexican tradition of religion and nationality over the centuries. The picture of the Virgen morena (Dark Virgin) is to be found everywhere throughout Mexico, and her iconography is varied almost beyond telling. Though innumerable books, both historical and devotional, have been published on the Guadalupan legend in this century alone, …
