Analysis of Western Graphics Elements in the Glyphs of Colonial Central Mexican Codices: The Case of Spanish Anthroponyms
Keywords:
Mesoamerican codices, Nahuatl hieroglyphic writing, Aztec culture.
Abstract
In this text, we present the study of Spanish anthroponyms containing «Western» elements. We analyze the «loans» that the tlacuiloque or indigenous scribes borrowed in order to express these names in a traditional graphic form. We have examined many codices, but we are aware that we have not had access to all of them. However, we believe that the final results of this research are based on the representative sample encompassing the majority of extant sources, thus providing information that will make it possible to establish in future studies relationships between Nahua anthroponyms, place names, offices, functions, barrios…, in which also embrace Western cultural elements.Downloads
