After the conquest of the Americas in the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries, Roman Catholic clergy developed graphic
catechisms to use for the conversion of native inhabitants in Latin
America. This book presents and analyzes a mid-nineteenth century
Andean pictographic catechism produced for speakers of Quechua. A
facsimile of the original pictographs is accompanied by supporting
text in English (translated from the original Spanish) and
Quechua.
The editors provide an introduction that outlines the origin and
uses of this catechism as well as the similarities and differences
between it and catechisms written for other indigenous groups in
Latin America during the colonial period. Endnotes and suggested
readings provide further understanding and context for this and
other pictographic catechisms from Latin America.
