A Spaniard originally from Italy, the polymath Lorenzo Boturini
Benaduci (1702-1753), known as Boturini, traveled to New Spain in
1736. Becoming fascinated by the Mesoamerican cultures of the New
World, he collected and copied native writings - and learned
Nahuatl, the language in which most of these documents were
written. Boturini's incomparable collection - confiscated,
neglected, and dispersed after the Spanish crown condemned his
intellectual pursuits - became the basis of his Idea of a New
General History of North America. The volume, completed in 1746 and
written almost entirely from memory, is presented here in English
for the first time, along with the Catalogo, Boturini's annotated
enumeration of the works he had gathered in New Spain. Stafford
Poole's lucid and nuanced translation of the Idea and Catalogo
allows Anglophone readers to fully appreciate Boturini's unique
accomplishment and his unparalleled and sympathetic knowledge of
the native peoples of eighteenth-century Mexico. Poole's
introduction puts Boturini's feat of memory and scholarship into
historical context: Boturini was documenting the knowledge and
skills of native Americans whom most Europeans were doing their
utmost to denigrate. Through extensive, thoughtful annotations,
Poole clarifies Boturini's references to Greco-Roman mythology,
authors from classical antiquity, humanist works, ecclesiastical
and legal sources, and terms in Nahuatl, Spanish, Latin, and
Italian. In his notes to the Catalogo, he points readers to
transcriptions and translations of the original materials in
Boturini's archive that exist today. Invaluable for the new light
they shed on Mesoamerican language, knowledge, culture, and
religious practices, the Idea of a New General History of North
America and the Catalogo also offer a rare perspective on the
intellectual practices and prejudices of the Bourbon era - and on
one of the most curious and singular minds of the time.
