Product Description
Carlos de SigÜenza y Góngora, one of seventeenth-century Mexico's best-known intellectuals, was a writer of fascinating and complex narratives that exemplarize the heterogeneous nature of colonial Spanish American prose.This book is the first critical study to place both the writer and his narrative within the phenomenon of the Barroco de Indias, or the Spanish-American baroque.Approaching SigÜenza as a criollo historian preoccupied with the placement of the New World within a universal context, Professor Ross develops a theoretical framework within which his texts can be read and understood today.Professor Ross incorporates into her examination new critical trends, such as the use of narrative theory, the new historiography, and feminist criticism. ...

Product Description
Sabio erudito, con una curiosidad científica que lo llevó a cultivar las más diversas disciplinas, Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora (México, 1645 -1700) destacó su saber en las matemáticas y ciencias aplicadas, astronomía, geografía, etnografía, filosofía, historia, arqueología, lingüística, literatura narrativa y hasta escribió -con poco éxito- poesía. Fue el matemático más notable de su tiempo en México; autor de la Libra astronómica y filosófica (1690), un excelente libro sobre la naturaleza de los cometas, importantes para el conocimiento de las ideas filosóficas en el México de la época; evidencia grandes cualidades narrativas en los Infortunios de Alonso Ramírez (1680), donde se hallan presentes las características de la picaresca española y que ha sido considerada como una verdadera elegía de la grandeza hispánica, con una estructura novelística que muestra rasgos de relato de aventuras. Realizó importantes estudios de las civilizaciones precolombinas de México, así como sobre el período de la conquista, los que desgraciadamente se han perdido, así como la mayor parte de su obra. Además de las obras mencionadas, el presente volumen incluye: Trofeo de la justicia española en el castigo de la alevosía francesa, Alboroto y motín de los indios de México (1692), Mercurio volante con la noticia de la recuperación de las provincias del Nuevo México (1693) y Teatro de virtudes políticas que constituyen a un príncipe (1680). La edición de las obras de Sigüenza y Góngora ha estado a cargo del ilustre académico, profesor William G. Bryant. ... Read more

Excerpt:Alonso de Molina (1513 or 1514 1579 or 1585 ) was a Franciscan priest and grammarian , who wrote a well-known dictionary of the Nahuatl language published in 1571 . He was born in Spain but arrived in Mexico while still a child and he became fluent in Nahuatl while playing with Aztec children. Molina arrived in Mexico immediately following Cortes' invasion. As a young man he entered the Franciscan order and became ordained as a priest. He taught at the Colegio de Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco along with Bernardino de Sahagún and Andrés de Olmos . Besides his priestly duties, Molina devoted himself to the study, understanding and writing of Nahuatl. He composed and preached many sermons in the Nahuatl tongue. Molina's Vocabulary in Castilian and Mexican language which he composed between 1555 and 1571 was the first dictionary printed in the New World , and, together with Olmos work, was the first published systematic approach to an indigenous language. It is still considered an indispensable tool for students of the Classical Nahuatl language .
