{"product_id":"mesoamerican-codices-alessia-frassani-9781407359670","title":"Mesoamerican Codices: Calendrical knowledge and ceremonial practice in Indigenous religion and history","description":"\u003cp\u003eReligious manuscripts from ancient and early colonial Mexico offer a direct pathway into indigenous worldviews through the uniquely Mesoamerican medium of pictography. During the thousands of years preceding Spanish invasion, a complex calendrical system developed in the region, forming the basic organizing principle of this pictorial language. This book offers new interpretations and insights on both calendrics and the related iconography of Mesoamerican religious manuscripts, based on the author's field work in the Sierra Mazateca in northern Oaxaca. Detailed calendrical analysis is included, along with audio recordings of chants, prayers, and ceremonies available as an online download. The author's novel approach questions accepted notions of divination, chronology, and the dichotomy between ritual and historical time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessia Frassani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407359673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407359670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports (Oxford) Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.51d","brand":"Alessia Frassani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076252004607,"sku":"9781407359670","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e5786ef-63af-4e54-bcc7-decccc2e7568.jpg?v=1685463979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mesoamerican-codices-alessia-frassani-9781407359670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
