Editorial Reviews

Review

The sixteenth-century conquest of Mexico brought into contact European and Indigenous ways of understanding and recording the world...Boone, through careful observation and detailed analysis, carries out a comprehensive study of the pictorial encyclopedias that were a product of this encounter...Boone’s book presents a model for the investigative power of close observation to decipher the impact of Indigenous forms of knowledge in colonial works. Boone’s clear writing and use of numerous examples make the volume accessible not only to specialists in Mexican manuscripts but also to a broader audience interested in Indigenous traditions, European epistemological projects, and colonial encounters. ― The Art Bulletin Published On: 2021-08-31

There has simply never been anything that comes close to what Boone has accomplished in this book. Its broad scope, its impeccable scholarship and thoroughness, its revelations of sources such as European costume books, its intelligent analyses, and its persistent questioning of how exactly Aztec pictography both worked and changed through time, make it what is—and will be, for a long time to come—the definitive source on Aztec pictographic encyclopedias. ― Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture Published On: 2022-04-01

This is a work of rigorous and insightful scholarship, described in clear and readable prose...[Descendants of Aztec Pictography] is a detailed and fascinating study of cultural persistence and change. The sixteenth-century pictorial manuscripts of New Spain were neither fully indigenous nor European colonialist works. Elizabeth Boone’s accomplishment is to disentangle the changing mixture of these traditions as the sixteenth century unfolded. This is an outstanding book...It should be in the library of all Mesoamericanists. ― Journal of Anthropological Research Published On: 2022-06-01

Boone’s capacious knowledge of the texts themselves and the secondary literature on those texts is on full display [in Descendants of Aztec Pictography] and allows her to craft a sort of guidebook to the pictorial encyclopedia genre...[Boone’s] typology of Mexican manuscript painting, of which this volume is but the latest installment, is what makes her work so foundational to the study of Nahua culture and history. ― Hispanic American Historical Review Published On: 2022-08-01

Review

With this book, Elizabeth Boone has hit the trifecta. It joins her two earlier, and equally masterful, books on the indigenous manuscripts of Mexico, Stories in Red and Black and Cycles of Time and Meaning in the Mexican Books of Fate. Together, the three are indispensable for understanding one of the world’s great book traditions, which flourished in Mexico both before and after contact with Europe. Boone seamlessly integrates an encyclopedic understanding with a lively and appealing prose, making this book both accessible for the student and satisfying for the expert. -- Barbara Mundy
