Description
"Important introduction analyzes the writings of Motolinia that comprise his Memoriales (1527-49), contained within the Libro de Oro (JGI 31, Benson Latin American Collection, Univ. of Texas, Austin). Examines the audience, European and indigenous sources, style, languages employed (Spanish, Latin, Nahuatl), and history of the manuscript. Earlier Spanish-language editions of the Memoriales are out of print; this one offers a transcription closer to the original"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
