Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ''Narratives of the Rites and Laws of the Yncas'' is a book written by Clements R. Markham. It is a comprehensive account of the Inca civilization's customs, laws, and religious practices. The book is based on the writings of the Spanish chroniclers who recorded the history of the Inca Empire during the colonial era. The author has translated and compiled these accounts to create a detailed narrative of the Inca culture. The book covers various aspects of Inca society, including their political structure, social hierarchy, religious beliefs, and daily life. It also explores the Inca's unique system of record-keeping, which relied on knotted strings called quipus. The author provides insights into the Inca's sophisticated agricultural practices, their use of medicinal plants, and their impressive architectural achievements, such as the famous Machu Picchu.Overall, ''Narratives of the Rites and Laws of the Yncas'' is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning about the Inca civilization. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a complex and sophisticated culture that flourished in the Andean region of South America for centuries.1873. The first of these manuscripts is a report on the fables and rites of the Yncas, addressed by Christoval de Molina, the priest of the hospital for natives, at Cuzco, to Dr. Don Sebastian de Artaun, the bishop of that ancient capital. It must have been written between 1570 and 1584; the period during which Artaun was bishop of Cuzco. The Second is an account of the antiquities of Peru, by an Indian named Juan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti-yamqui Salcamayhua. His great-great grand parents were living at the time of the Spanish conquest of Peru; so that the author may have written in about 1620. The third is an account of the religion and traditions of the Indians of the mountainous province of Huarochiri, on the Pacific slope of the maritime Cordillera, near Lima, by a resident priest, named Dr. Francisco de Avila. It was written in 1608. Finally, the fourth is a report, written in a memorandum book, apparently as a rough draft, among the papers of the Licentiate Polo de Ondegardo, an able and accomplished statesman, who was Corregidor of Cuzco, in 1560.
