The sermons, for use in instructing the Cakchikel Indians in the doctrines and worship of the Catholic faith, relate events in the life of Christ, such as the incarnation, the annunciation, the nativity, the significance of the gifts presented by the Magi, Herod’s slaughter of the innocents, and the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. Other sermons describe the meaning and importance of Palm Sunday, Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, the Crucifixion, and the preachings of John the Baptist and his baptism of believers in the Jordan River. Also included are sermons explaining the Ten Commandments, the virtues and vices, the sacraments, the miracles performed by Christ, and prayers such as the Pater Noster, Creed, Ave Maria, and Salve Regina.

  • Constructing 'Race': the Catholic Church and the Evolution of Racial Categories and Gender in Colonial Mexico, 1521-1700
    CONSTRUCTING ‘RACE’: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE EVOLUTION OF RACIAL CATEGORIES AND GENDER IN COLONIAL MEXICO, 1521-1700 _______________ A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _______________ By Alexandria E. Castillo August, 2017 i CONSTRUCTING ‘RACE’: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE EVOLUTION OF RACIAL CATEGORIES AND GENDER IN COLONIAL MEXICO, 1521-1700 _______________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _______________ By Alexandria E. Castillo August, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of the Catholic Church in defining racial categories and construction of the social order during and after the Spanish conquest of Mexico, then New Spain. The Catholic Church, at both the institutional and local levels, was vital to Spanish colonization and exercised power equal to the colonial state within the Americas. Therefore, its interests, specifically in connection to internal and external “threats,” effected New Spain society considerably. The growth of Protestantism, the Crown’s attempts to suppress Church influence in the colonies, and the power struggle between the secular and regular orders put the Spanish Catholic Church on the defensive. Its traditional roles and influence in Spanish society not only needed protecting, but reinforcing. As per tradition, the Church acted as cultural center once established in New Spain. However, the complex demographic challenged traditional parameters of social inclusion and exclusion which caused clergymen to revisit and refine conceptions of race and gender.

The students at the college, who were drawn from native elites, received an advanced education in Latin from Franciscan missionaries. The present discussion will explain why such a training was provided to those indigenous youths, and clarify the nature of their accomplishments (1). A discussion of the translations of biblical texts into Nahuatl made at the College of Santa Cruz (2) will be followed by a survey of original religious texts produced there in the Mexican language, many of which had identiable Latin precedents (3).

    Mathematics of the Hñähñu: the Otomies Thomas E. Gilsdorf Department of Mathematics University of North Dakota 101 Cornell Street, Mail Stop 8376 Grand Forks, ND 58202-8376 [email protected] Abstract: English: This article is about the mathematics of the cultural group known as the Otomies, of present day central Mexico. In particular, I discuss the Otomi number system and a comparison of that system with Aztec counting, Otomi art and decoration, mathematical symbols that appear in some Mesoamerican codices, and the Otomi calendar. Español: Este artículo es del tema de matemáticas culturales de los Otomíes, de la región central de lo que hoy en día es México. En particular, describo el sistema numérico de los Otomíes y una comparación con el sistema numérico de los Aztecas, el arte de los Otomíes, los símbolos matemáticos que aparecen en unos códices mesoamericanos, y el calendario otomí. 1. Who are the Hñähñu? The cultural group we are going to consider is generally referred to as the Otomies (pronounced “oh- toh- MEES”). The name Hñähñu (“hñ” is pronounced like the “ny” in “canyon”, preceded by a nasalized “h”) is one of the names by which people of this culture refer to themselves. In general, people of Hñähñu culture use a variant of this word when referring to themselves with other members of the same culture, but use the word Otomi in communications in Spanish or with people from outside the culture. The term Otomi has been used in a derogatory way since before the arrival of the Spanish. Nevertheless, there is some consensus among anthropologists who study Hñähñu culture that it is better to use the word Otomi, presumably in a positive way, so as to work toward creating a more positive image of the people who are often referred to with this word.

The Genetic History Of The Otomi In The Central Mexican Valley Abstract The Otomí, or Hñäñhü, is an indigenous ethnic group in the Central Mexican Valley that has been historically marginalized since before Spanish colonization. To investigate the extent by which historical, geographic, linguistic, and cultural influences shaped biological ancestry, I analyzed the genetic variation of 224 Otomí individuals residing in thirteen Otomí villages. Results indicate that the majority of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes belong to the four major founding lineages, A2, B2, C1, and D1, reflecting an overwhelming lack of maternal admixture with Spanish colonizers. Results also indicate that at an intra-population level, neither geography nor linguistics played a prominent role in shaping maternal biological ancestry. However, at an inter-population level, geography was found to be a more influential determinant. Comparisons of Otomí genetic variation allow us to reconstruct the ethnic history of this group, and to place it within a broader-based Mesoamerican history.

Palancar SeDyL-CELIA (UMR8202), CNRS Surrey Morphology Group, University of Surrey [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Otomi (Oto-Pamean, Oto-Manguean) is a small group of languages spoken in Mexico which has emerged as a linguistic family in recent times. In this paper, I study relevant changes in the number system of the Otomi languages. These changes constitute an interesting object of study to gain a better understanding of two main phenomena: aspects of language change involving the loss of dual number, and the constraints on number agreement restricted to conjoining structures. I show that changes in the number system in the Otomi family have different outcomes depending on the dialectal area.

  • Otomanguean Historical Linguistics: Past, Present and Prospects for the Future
    Campbell, Eric W. 2017. Otomanguean historical linguistics: past, present and prospects for the future. Language & Linguistics Compass 11: e12240. -- this copy may differ slightly from published version 1 Otomanguean historical linguistics: past, present and prospects for the future 2 Abstract 3 Among the linguistic lineages of Mesoamerica, the Otomanguean family is the most diverse 4 and most widely spread. Long occupying a central position in one of the cradles of human 5 civilization, speakers of Otomanguean languages have played important roles in the region, 6 about which their languages have much to tell. However, Otomanguean is perhaps the least 7 understood of the major Mesoamerican language families, due to its great diversity, the 8 remarkable structural complexity of Otomanguean languages, and the history of the field of 9 Otomanguean historical linguistics, which has seen great achievement alternating with periodic 10 controversy and doubt. With a focus on the higher levels and more ancient time depths of the 11 family, this article surveys Otomanguean historical linguistic work and presents a state of the 12 art perspective on Otomanguean classification, reconstruction, linguistic prehistory, remaining 13 challenges, and prospects for the future. 14 1 Introduction 15 Otomanguean is an expansive language family that has been centered around the core of the 16 Mesoamerican cultural (Kirchhoff 1967[1943]) and linguistic area (Campbell et al. 1986) for 17 as long as we can detect. It extends a little beyond the northern limits of Mesoamerica into the 18 state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico (Pame), and it previously reached as far south as the Gulf of 19 Nicoya along the Pacific slope of Costa Rica (Mangue).
