Paul Getty Museum Ms. Ludwig XIII 16","description":"Written by the Mercedarian friar Martin de Murua, the \u003ci\u003eHistoria general del Piru \u003c\/i\u003e(1616) is one of only three extant illustrated manuscripts on the history of Inca and early colonial Peru. This immensely important Andean manuscript is here made available in facsimile, its beautifully calligraphed text reproduced in halftone and its thirty-eight hand-colored images--mostly portraits of Inca kings and queens--in color. Boxed with the facsimile is a set of essays that discuss not only the manuscript's physical components--quires and watermarks, scripts and pigments--but also its relation to other Andean manuscripts, Inca textiles, European portraits, and Spanish sources and publication procedures. The sum is an unusually detailed and interdisciplinary analysis of the creation and fate of a historical and artistic treasure. The essay volume--comprising contributions by Rolena Adorno, Barbara Anderson, Ivan Boserup, Thomas B. F. Cummins, Juan M. Ossio, Elena Phipps, Karen Trentelman, and Nancy Turner--is also sold separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin De Murua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0892368950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892368952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Research Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.40h x 10.20w x 3.60d","brand":"Martin De Murua","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46545658052863,"sku":"9780892368952","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c324a7b1-1963-4047-8d66-efb80aeb1870.jpg?v=1738183020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historia-general-del-piru-and-martin-de-murua-9780892368952","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
