{"product_id":"testaments-of-toluca-caterina-pizzigoni-9780804756075","title":"Testaments of Toluca","description":"\u003cp\u003eTestaments written in their own language, Nahuatl, have been crucial for reconstructing the everyday life of the indigenous people of central Mexico after Spanish contact. Those published to date have largely been from the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. \u003ci\u003eTestaments of Toluca\u003c\/i\u003e presents a large body of Nahuatl wills (98) from 1652 to 1783 from an important valley not much studied, thus greatly enlarging our perspective on the evolution of indigenous society and culture in central Mexico. Each testament is transcribed, translated, and accompanied by a commentary on the testator's situation and on interesting terminology. A substantial introductory study fully analyzes the testamentary genre as seen in this corpus (a first) and summarizes the content of the documents in realms such as gender, kinship, household, and land. Wills are very human documents, and the apparatus draws out this aspect, telling us much of local indigenous life in central Mexico in the third century after Spanish contact, so that the book is of potential interest to a broad spectrum of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caterina Pizzigoni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804756074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804756075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.34h x 8.78w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 72","brand":"Caterina Pizzigoni","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46670395900159,"sku":"9780804756075","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e429e008-d2b4-43c5-a638-dcddb237867d.jpg?v=1741316872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/testaments-of-toluca-caterina-pizzigoni-9780804756075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
