Doctrine and Disease in the British and Spanish Colonial World
Threefold manuscripts
To understand the manuscript creation process practiced by Indigenous intellectuals in the Americas this essay examines the work of the Nahua scholars who, along with Bernardino de Sahagún, created the Florentine Codex (1575–1577). Now fundamental to studies of the Codex is an evaluation of its three 'texts': the Nahuatl-language alphabetic text, the Spanish-language annotations including loose translations, and its bountiful images. Two sources …
Altered Folios, Alternative Histories in the Florentine Codex
The histories found in the textual and pictorial narratives of the Florentine Codex (1575–77) were created by Nahua writer-artists (tlacuiloque) working with Bernardino de Sahagún. The manuscript reveals a complex process of translation, retelling, and visualization of Nahua culture, including the vivid memories of the Spanish-led invasion. Scholars have long worked with reproductions of the Florentine Codex as a “clean copy.” A closer engagement…
The Church of the Dead
The question of how Spanish and Indigenous people grappled with the real and existential threat of widespread colonial epidemic diseases is the subject of a timely new book by Jennifer Scheper Hughes titled The Church of the Dead: The Epidemic of 1576 and the Birth of Christianity in the Americas. It focuses on the religious dimensions of the catastrophic deaths due to illness in the late sixteenth century, events labeled with the author's adopte…
The Codex Mexicanus
The Codex Mexicanus fortifies Lori Boornazian Diel’s reputation as a leading art historian of colonial Mexico. An in-depth study of a postcontact pictorial manuscript from central Mexico, this book artfully combines a catalog of the contents with the author’s own significant analysis. Though intended for a specialist audience, the book also speaks to a broader readership by exploring connections with early modern European history. This book is in…
Tepahtihquetl pan ce pilaltepetzin / A Village Healer
Sabina Cruz de la Cruz presents an auto-ethnohistory, an account written in her native language of Nahuatl based on her community experiences with illness and curing in the Huasteca region of Veracruz, Mexico. She documents her work with two curanderos to improve her poor health. The article is an invaluable record of contemporary, indigenous healing dialogue and traditions, some of which have similarities with colonial-era practices. It is an ex…
As if His Heart Died
The first encounters between Nahuas and Spaniards from 1519 to 1521 resulted in widespread deaths in the indigenous communities of central Mexico. Although the first recorded disease epidemic is often acknowledged as a factor in the loss of rule to the invaders, Moteuczoma receives much of the blame. Historians contend that Moteuczoma's cowardice facilitated the defeat of his people. Instead, this article argues that descriptions of the pain and …
