Dampstain affecting inner magin of vol. 1, Pp. 32-46. Light brownspotting throughout. Overall an excellent copy. (4), XCII, 440 pp. (4), 616 pp. (4)…, 692 pp. + 1 folded map." (4), VI, 851 pp. Scarce first edition of Bourbourg's famous account of the culture and the indigenous people of Central-America, one of the most important works on that area's people and language. Due to his discoveries of important texts and codes of ancient Mexico, Bourbourg was one of the pioneers of archeology and pre-Columbian history: "He studied on the spot the primitive Mexican civilizations, collected important material on the geography, antiquities, and ethnology of Mexico and Central America, edited numerous curious texts such as the Manuscrit Troano [.], and published works which, like the 'Lettres' [.] , but especially [the present work], assured him of a fine reputation as a scholar of America." (Dictionary of Canadian Biography).Several sections of the present work deal with the languages of Mexico. The work contains an introduction by Bourbourg's fellow-archaeologist, Joseph Marius Alexis Aubin, in which Aubin demonstrates how Mexican pictographs were used not only to represent objects, but also to stand for the syllables forming a word. Having spent much of his time trying to decipher the Mayan hieroglyphs, the present work, with its ingenious introduction, paved the way for Bourbourg's announcement in 1863 of his discovery of a key to the Mexican hieroglyphs. The key difference between the Mayan script and other logosyllabic Mesoamerican writing systems that allowed for its linguistically more precise decipherment was a large corpus of inscriptions and its continued use into the Colonial period. In 1862 Bourbourg discovered Bishop Diego de Landa's redacted manuscript Relación de las Cosas de Yucatan (Tozzer 1941), which contained a rudimentary Mayan "alphabet." Following this discovery and his equally important find of a section of the Madrid Codex, Bourbourg attempted a phonetic approach to glyphic decipherment. Sabin:7429.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In two decades of traveling throughout Mexico, Central America, and Europe, French priest Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814-1874) amassed hundreds of indigenous manuscripts and printed books, including grammars and vocabularies… that brought to light languages and cultures little known at the time. Although his efforts yielded many of the foundational texts of Mesoamerican studies-the pre-Columbian Codex Troana, the only known copies of the Popol Vuh and the indigenous dance drama Rabinal-Achi, and Diego De Landa's Relación de la cosas de Yucatán-Brasseur earned disdain among scholars for his theories linking Maya writings to the mythical continent of Atlantis. In The Manuscript Hunter, translator Katia Sainson reasserts his standing as the founder of modern Maya studies, presenting three of his travel writings in English for the first time.While civil wars raged throughout Mexico and Central America and foreign interests sought access to the region's rich resources, Brasseur focused on uncovering Mesoamerica's mysterious past by examining its ancient manuscripts and living oral traditions. His 'Notes from a Voyage in Central America,' 'From Guatemala City to Rabinal,' and Voyage across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec document his travels in search of these texts and traditions. Brasseur's writings weave vivid geographical descriptions of Central America and Mexico during the mid-1800s with keen social and political analysis, all steeped in vast knowledge of the region's history and interest in its indigenous cultures.Coupled with Sainson's thoughtful introduction and annotations, these captivating, accessible accounts reveal Brasseur de Bourbourg's true accomplishments and offer an unrivaled view of the birth of Mesoamerican studies in the nineteenth century. Brasseur's writings not only depict Central America and Mexico through the eyes of a European traveler at a key moment, but also illuminate the remarkable efforts of one man to understand and preserve Mesoamerica's cultural traditions for all time.
