Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 6x0x9; 1979 reprint, AMS Press (New York), 5 7/8 x 8 7/8 inches tall teal buckram cloth hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), gilt lettering to spine, viii, 141 pp. plus folded map in pocket at rear of volume. Very slight soiling and rubbing to covers. A couple of tiny ink marks to the upper margin of the blank front free-endpaper. Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy-clean, bright and unmarked. ~SP28~ [1.5P] This monograph is an attempt at a mapping of the Aztec ('Culhua Mexica') Matricula de Tributos or Tribute Roll-a barkcloth document dating to 1522-1530 but probably copied from pre-Conquest examples, with Nahua annotations added-frequently referring to a later copy within the Codex Mendoza ('Codex Mendocino') with additional annotations. The surviving pages list tribute due from each ethnic political unit or city-state. Numerous towns pertaining to 38 'provinces' within seven 'domains' are located on a modern map, and supplemental information from early Colonial sources is provided on the inhabitants of each where possible. Robert Hayward Barlow (1918-1951) was an American author, avant-garde poet, anthropologist and historian of early Mexico, and expert in the Nahuatl language.
