The pre-Hispanic Mixtec people of Mexico recorded political and religious history, including the biographies and genealogies of their rulers, in pictograms on hand-painted, screen-fold manuscripts known as codices. Functioning rather like movie production storyboards, the codices served as outlines of oral traditions to stimulate the memories of bards who knew the complete narratives, which were sung, danced, and performed at elite functions. Centuries later we have limited access to those original performances, and all that remains for our codex interpretation is what is painted on the pages—perhaps five to ten percent of their memory-encoded information. Although the reverse document pages 42—84 has been described in previous literature, the obverse document pages 1—41 has not been, and it has remained elusive as to narrative. The Complete Codex Zouche- Nuttall elucidates the three sections of the codex, defines them as to function and content, and provides interpretive and descriptive essays about the Native American history the codex recorded prior to the arrival of Europeans in Mexico and the New World generally. Robert Lloyd Williams has studied the Mixtec codices since the s and taught courses on them in the Mixtec Codex Workshop, which he cofounded with John M. Pohl, for twelve years. Unlike the majority of other great Oaxacan manuscripts, the Zouche-Nuttall has not had an extensive and sophisticated commentary in English in the recent scholarship. Instead, the sole recent commentary is in Spanish and is published in a very limited edition bound together with an expensive facsimile. Thus, the present book will immediately function as the key English-language commentary on a major part of the codex and as the major recent synthetic commentary in any language. With the publication of this book, a whole new generation of students, specialists, and the interested public have access to the remarkable knowledge of this scholar. This book represents a major undertaking, tackling the oft-ignored and challenging obverse side of the codex. Unlike earlier scholars who dismissed perplexing passages or attributed them to scribal mistakes, Williams offers a convincing rationale for the manipulation of reading order, showing how the ancient scribes incorporated repetition in history to justify political events. Williams effectively brings this hand-painted book to life, allowing us to imagine the bards of the past who used such codices to perform the heroics of their rulers, thereby keeping the past alive.

The codex is not one of tradition left-right, separate pages like you see from Europe, but Boustrophedon - right to left, then left right. It is a folded out piece of deerskin with multiple rectangular sections. It is a piece of 'conceptual art' in the form of pictographs that could be 'read' by a ancient Mixtec reader. If one is vaguely familiar with Mayan pictographs, then this will seem slightly similar. Most of the information on the history of this codex and similar Mixtec ones is in the introduction. It is informative enough to appreciate how important this piece of history is. Overall, I wish this was a translation. But, I will look elsewhere for that. Worth a look if you are into this field of study. Sep 29, Tom Schulte rated it really liked it. I was able to read this at Archive. It is so sad that so few of these ancient Mexican codices survive. This one has a fascinating introduction much about interpreting the content. I wish the relevant points where intersperse with the pages. Jul 30, P. I spent days pouring over this work in my youth and again about 7 years ago. What does it mean? I finally realized the lines going in different directions with different dots in them highlighted at distinct points stand for times that particular race shown in the glyph of such will have an upswing or downswing or change in progression and go through this or that incident depicted around that figurine a vat with disease in it or a bird soaring upward and so on. It is basically a book on the I spent days pouring over this work in my youth and again about 7 years ago. I knew no one possibly would believe me were I to say this aloud and then lo and behold last year I came across - it was either Lady Hahn or one of her main students writings - saying this is exactly what the Codex Nutall depicts! Then they believe it.
