Obras Históricas de Don Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl, Vol. 2: Historia Chichimeca (Classic Reprint) (Spanish Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book chronicles the history of the Chichimeca, an indigenous people of Mexico, from their origins to their eventual establishment in the Valley of Mexico. The author draws on a variety of sources, including pictorial manuscripts, songs, and oral traditions, to provide a comprehensive account of Chichimeca culture, society, and politics. The book begins with the creation of the world according to Chichimeca mythology, and goes on to describe the various migrations and settlements of the Chichimeca people. The author also provides detailed accounts of the Chichimeca's wars with other indigenous groups, as well as their interactions with the Spanish conquistadors. Of particular interest is the author's discussion of Chichimeca religion and philosophy. The Chichimeca believed in a pantheon of gods and goddesses, and their religious practices were closely tied to the agricultural cycle. The author also explores the Chichimeca's concept of the afterlife, and their beliefs about the nature of the human soul. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Chichimeca people. It is also a significant contribution to the broader study of Mesoamerican history and culture.
