The Monuments and Inscriptions of Tamarindito, Peten, Guatemala. Acta Mesoamericana, Vol. 25, 2013, iv+119pp., cloth, size 21×29.5cm, ISBN 3-931419-24-X, EURO 50,00
This publication is intended as the first attempt to compile a corpus of the Maya site of Tamarindito, Petén, Guatemala. It will consider all monuments that were previously designated, whether these monuments bear hieroglyphic texts and/or iconography or no carving at all. It also documents miscellaneous objects such as ceramic artefacts or graffiti.
Tamarindito is a heavily looted site. While some of its monuments or fragments remain in situ, others have been rescued during archaeological operations or for safekeeping measures under the authority of the Instituto de Antropología e Historia (IDAEH) of Guatemala. Tragically, a great portion of the monuments of Tamarindito have disappeared into private collections, where some pieces have been rediscovered. Others remain lost.
This publication is able to provide both photographic and graphic documentation for a majority of the known monuments and inscriptions from Tamarindito. Previous studies on adjacent sites such as Dos Pilas and Arroyo de Piedra have already shown that Tamarindito played a major role in the Classic Maya political landscape of the region. The documentation of the corpus has further revealed the importance of the site.

Nahuatl Writing2 in the Codex Telleriano-Remensis: Writing1 History in a Sixteenth Century Aztec Manuscript. Fuentes Mesoamericanas, Vol. 7, 2020, ix+199 pp., num. ills., incl. sign catalogues of name and place glyphs in colour, cloth, size 21×29.5cm, ISBN 3-931419-90-8, EURO 80,00
The Codex Telleriano-Remensis is one of the most beautiful Aztec manuscripts from the Early Colonial period of Mexico.The first half of this codex relates to the Aztec calendar system, whereas the second one is a detailed account of the Aztec history, spanning a time from the beginning of the mythical migration of the Mexica in the eleventh century to the Early Colonial period in the mid-sixteenth century, encluding such far-reaching events as the foundation of Tenochtitlan, the war against Tlatelolco, and the conquest of Tenochtitlan led by Hernán Cortés in the years 1519–1521. This eventful history was recorded in a native writing system that can be described as a sophisticated composition of iconography, calendar notation, and such signs that are linked to Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. Even though the original Nahuatl text is accompanied by Spanish annotations written in Latin letters, many of the Nahuatl writing signs hitherto remained undeciphered. The first part of the present volume addresses the principles of this exceptional writing system. The second part is a meticulous study of the historical section, presenting numerous new decipherment proposals for yet uninterpreted or misinterpreted signs. The study is topped off with three catalogues, each printed in colour: a catalogue of the Nahuatl writing signs appearing in the Codex Telleriano-Remensis including their proposed reading, and two catalogues of the deciphered place signs and the name signs of the depicted historical figures, respectively.

Fray Francisco Ximénez und das Popol Vuh. Transkription und Analyse traditioneller Mythen der K’iche’. Fuentes Mesoamericanas, Vol. 6, 2013, 250pp., 22 ill., 1 CD, cloth, size 21×29.5cm, ISBN 3-931419-89-4, EURO 80,00
Living in the highlands of Guatemala between the years 1701 and 1703, Ximénez comes across a manuscript that reveals the story of the creation of the K’iche’-Maya, their mythology and even their cosmovisión indígena. As a result of his missionary sending, he instantly seizes the opportunity of now being able to illustrate and prove the practised religious rituals and idolatries of the K’iche’-Maya by copying the manuscript. He duplicates the textual basis, translates it into Spanish and adds this new text complex to his Arte. 15 years later, Ximénez is approached with the order of writing a Historia de la Provincia of his Dominican province. The first part of this chronicle would be the creation of the earth and the myths of the origin of the K’iche’-Maya, the so called Popol Vuh. It is the purpose of this book to focus on the comparison of the two Ximénez manuscripts in order to establish proof of the fact that both texts, the Popol Vuh version of 1703 and the Popol Vuh chapters in the Historia of 1718, no longer represent the original myths of the K’iche’-Maya, but instead include prominent features of hispanic-christian culture.
Looking at the two Guatemalean Popol Vuh texts, we come across the assumption that both texts no longer represent the original creation myths of the K’iche’-Maya. Rather, we are confronted with manipulated versions which have served as Christian doctrine. As a matter of fact, the two texts are testimonials of a deliberate change of the pragmatical focus. In order to prove this, the analysis of the manuscripts is based upon their surrounding while being written, their internal structure and, among others, specific features of grammatical, lexical and syntactical units. Above all, a comparison of the two texts clearly shows that the later text is not as detailed as the manuscript from 1703. This shortness is not only a result of changing the structure from a poem to a narrative piece of art. It is rather the new textual concept that modifies the way of telling the myths and reduces the text in its length. Hereby, two methods of reduction can be revealed: a grammatical change of several parts of the text which then appear less detailed than before, and the cutting out of text passages dedicated to a detailed description of the indigenous mythology. Again, this must be interpreted as a conscious change of the pragmatical orientation of the manuscript: the myths become estranged from their indigenous origin and are transformed into literary testimonials of Christian missionary strategies.
Taking into account the person, who created all of this, we can draw the following conclusion: Fray Francisco Ximénez deals with the foreign culture by means of deliberate affirmation. He confronts the two Popol Vuh texts and manages to reduce the original pragmatic orientation through a discursive conversion to a legitimation of his own position. He succeeds in fulfilling his missionary order and in justifying his own presence in Guatemala. The role of a Dominican missionary friar is turned into a universal authority which is based on the pluralisation of discourse traditions.

Este trabajo se ocupo de examinar de manera crítica, desde las fuentes, la Relación de la Nueva España, así como la Breve y Sumaria Relación de Alonso de Zorita. La obra de Zorita puede datarse en su totalidad después de su regreso a Europa, en el año de 1567. Aparte de la Breve y sumaria relación, resulta de particular importancia para el estudio de los problemas de la historia social y económica de México, el segundo de los cuatro volúmenes de la Relación, en el que se ahonda en la época prehispánica y, en parte, también en la época colonial. El análisis de ambas obras constituye, por tanto, el meollo de la investigación. Un capítulo sobre la vida y obra de Zorita antecede el análisis del texto. Después de la biografía se incluye un resumen de su abundante obra, de la que ha llegado poco a nuestros días. El método de trabajo aplicado divide la investigación en dos etapas: el análisis formal y la clasificación por contenidos de los hechos descritos. La transcripción de los dos escritos aquí publicados se apega a los manuscritos originales.

The five early Nahuatl documents known as Anales de Tlatelolco dealing with Aztec migration toward the Valley of Mexico, the dynasties of Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco and the Tepanec capital Azcapotzalco, and the Spanish conquest, are transcribed precisely from the original manuscripts (today in the French Bibliothèque Nacional) and translated accurately into Spanish. In a Spanish introduction the author investigates the relation of the different manuscripts, their structure and scribes, and time of origin of this primary source. In appendices the reports are compared thematically, the chronology of Aztec rulers and migration sites are listed.

This sympathetic eyewitness report is a comprehensive primary source on the last independent Maya who were able to evade domination by the Spaniards until 1697. Avendaño gives an account of the two journeys he undertook in the years 1695 and 1696 in order to convert the Itza Maya. In January 1696 this led him to the capital of the Itza on an island in the middle of Lake Peten. His report abounds in rich descriptions of geography, geology, ecology, flora and fauna. The edition includes historical background, bibliography and index.
