RT Book T1 The Lienzo of Tlapiltepec: a painted history from the northern Mixteca A2 Brownstone, Arni 1947- A2 Johnson, Nicholas A2 Doesburg, Geert Bastiaan van 1965- LA English PP Norman PB University of Oklahoma Press YR 2015 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/79140451X AB The Lienzo de Tlapiltepec is a pictographic document on cotton canvas that measures 156 by 66.5 inches and was created in the middle to late sixteenth century in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The lienzo depicts historical events from about the eleventh to the sixteenth century and was created by Mixtec Indians. Discovered in the town on Tlapiltepec, which is located in the valley of Coixtlahuaca, it is part of a group of documents called the Coixtlahuaca Group. Since 1919 the lienzo has been housed in the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada. The contributors to this volume present basic information, such as what a lienzo is, to more specific information on the origin, format, and content of the Lienzo de Tlapiltepec. The discussion then becomes more advanced when the contributors engage the entire Coixtlahuaca Group to fully analyze the historical information depicted on the Lienzo de Tlapiltepec. A final essay deals with the copies of the lienzo that exist at the ROM and the technique of color reproduction. This will be the first book to engage the Lienzo de Tlapiltepec and the Coixtlahuaca Group of Mixtec documents and should thus garner attention from Mesoamerican specialists-- Provided by publisher NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN F1219.8.M59 SN 978-0-8061-4629-4 SN 978-0-8061-4630-0 SN 978-0-88854-503-9 SN 978-0-88854-504-6 K1 Lienzo de Tlapiltepec K1 Geschichte K1 Manuscripts, Mixtec : Mexico K1 Mixtec Indians : History K1 Mixtec Indians : Antiquities K1 Mixteken K1 Lienzo : Handschrift K1 Lienzo K1 Coixtlahuaca (Mexico) : History K1 Coixtlahuaca (Mexico) : Antiquities
