Entretenimientos de un prisionero en las provincias del Rio de la Plata

1828A0226Two volumes: 8viii334 pages with engraved dedication in script engraved supplemental pictorial title page and two plates; 639116 pages with engraved supplemental pictorial title page appendix and one engraved plate. Octavo 8" x 6" bound in brown leather with gilt lettering to spine. Plates by J. Amillo. Sabin 51215 Palau 183810 First edition. An important work on the Indians of Mexico especially the Tarascans of Michoacan written in Mexico by Benito Maria de Moxo and printed here by his nephew Juras Reales. "A valuable set of dissertations upon the natives and history of the New World written by Don Benito Maria de Moxo Archbishop of Charcas whose papers fell into the hands of his nephew Luis Maria de Moxo y de Lopez and were printed by the latter under his own name without sufficient acknowledgement" - Sabin. The work contains fourteen essays by Benito Maria Moxo y Francoli written in 1805 in Michoacan where he served as auxiliary bishop from 1803 to 1805. The varied topics include Indian music; human sacrifice; Tarascan pre-Columbian painting; geometry; arithmetic and hieroglyphic writing; Black slavery in the Spanish colonies; and two essays on natural history. The appendix prints Moxo's 1807 speech in response to the British invasion of Buenos Aires. The fine engraved plates by J. Amillo include a scene of missionaries playing music for the Indians; a detailed representation of "Idolo Huitzilopochtli" lively dancing Huitzilopochtli with mask wearing feather headdress and holding a shield; and a stone idol on a broken base. A later edition appeared under the title Cartas Mejicanas in 1837 MoxÃ³ y de Francoli 1763-1816 a controversial writer of the Spanish-American Enlightenment was accused of collaborating with both monarchists and revolutionaries. His work is also marked by ambiguity due to his loyalty to Spain and his sympathy for the original inhabitants of Mesoamerica resulting in a complicated example of literary colonialism. This work explores Mesoamerican archaeology astronomy pictorial codices human sacrifice mathematics comparative study of suicide among Native Americans and Europeans pre-Columbian music and other unusual anthropological subjects such as the Tarascan painted manuscript discussed by Glass. Dismissed are the claims by Robertson and De Pauw that Amerindian culture is inferior though the author rebukes Voltaire for minimizing the extent of human sacrifice and cannibalism among the Aztecs. He resolutely defends the Spanish conquest. Perhaps the most important result of the work was its contribution to an upsurge in interest in Mesoamerican archaeology and art. The copperplate engravings are handsome and well executed. Condition: Modern rebinding with new end papers. A very good set. En la Imprenta de Jose Torner hardcover books

Gesammelte Abhandlungen zur Amerikanischen Sprach-und Alterthumskunde

1902BOOKS0070233 volumes; xxviii862 pages with two fold out plates and numerous illustrations; xxxvi1107 pages with numerous illustrations; xxx729 pages with four maps including frontispiece 43 plates which one folds out and numerous black and white illustrations. Royal octavo 9 7/8" x 6 3/4". Bound in half leather with marbled boards. Three of five volumes. First edition. A few general observations on the contents of Gesammelte Abhandlungen are in order. Altogether the set includes 127 separate articles. Most were originally published in such well-known outlets of the 1887-1919 period as ZeitschriJt jilr Ethnologie Globus Science Internationales Archiv filr Ethnographie Ethnologisches Notisblatt Mittheilungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschajt in Wien Verojentlichungen aus dem Kdniglichen Museum filr Volkerkunde Berlin and the proceedings of the various International Congresses of Americanists held during these years. Occasionally these articles on being reprinted in the various volumes of Gesammelte Abhundlungen were substantially enlarged and revised by their author. A few of the most important papers were written especially for these volumes such as his well-known translations with copious notes of the Sahaguntine chants to the gods Vol. I his classic account of Tarascan culture at Contact Vol. III and his important descriptions of the ruins of La Quemada Vol. III and Teotihuacan Vol. V. Breaking them down into categories to illustrate again the great breadth of Seler's scholarly labors approximately 10 are devoted to studies of the Mexican codices 3 to Mexican calendrics 20 to Maya hieroglyphic writing and calendrics 3 to mythology 2 to general Mesoamerican linguistics 29 to analyses of archaeological objects or groups of objects 13 to descriptions always well illustrated of major ruins 6 to accounts of archaeological travels 14 to what might be called "general ethnohistory" 4 to direct translations of Nahuatl texts 3 to recent ethnography 3 to Conquest history I to geography and 4 on miscellaneous topics. In addition to this coverage of Mesoamerican matters which consumes the vast bulk of the volumes 4 articles deal with North America 3 with Central America and 5 with South America Andean region. The small number of articles specifically concerned with Mexican codices does not accurately reflect Seler's contribution to this field since as stated above his major works here were long monographs each thoroughly analyzing a major surviving specimen.
