Painted Words presents a facsimile and analysis of a 17th-century pictographic Catholic catechism from colonial Mexico at the Biblioth???que Nationale de France. This book shows they are better understood as indigenous expressions of devotional knowledge--with pictures to aid oral performance--rather than the products of evangelization.
