The primary native language of central Mexico before and after the
Spanish conquest, Nahuatl was used from the mid-sixteenth century
forward in an astounding array of alphabetic written documents.
James Lockhart, an eminent historian of early Latin America, is the
leading interpreter of Nahuatl texts. One of his main tools of
instruction has been Horacio Carochi's monumental 1645 Arte de la
lengua mexicana, the most influential work ever published on
Nahuatl grammar. This new edition includes the original Spanish and
an English translation on facing pages. The corpus of examples,
source of much of our knowledge about vowel quality and glottal
stop in Nahuatl, is presented once in its original form, once in a
rationalized manner. Copious footnotes provide explanatory
commentary and more literal translations of some of Carochi's
examples. The volume is an indispensable pedagogical tool and the
first critical edition of the premier monument of Nahuatl
grammatical literature.
