Reader's Guide to Mesoamerican

The Mesoamerican shelf gathers the public texts, source dossiers, and support pages currently held under this tradition room. Use this page as a doorway into the shelf rather than as a complete history of the tradition.

Main Doorways

  • Cantares Mexicanos holds the current public body of this shelf: a set of Nahua songs translated from the Cantares Mexicanos manuscript. Start with Song I - Beginning of Songs, Song XVI - The Flower-Song Debate, and Song XXXIX - We Only Came to Borrow.

Suggested Use

Begin with the introduction if one is present, then move into the rooms or individual texts listed above. For technical terms, names, and recurring concepts, use the local glossary on this shelf together with the central Good Works Glossary.
