"In Encounter with the Plumed Serpent, two scholars present and interpret the sacred
histories narrated in the Mixtec codices, the largest surviving collection of pre-Columbian
manuscripts in existence." "By analyzing and cross-referencing the codices, which
have been fragmented and dispersed in far-flung archives, the authors attempt to reconstruct
Mixtec history. Their synthesis here builds on long examination of the ancient manuscripts.
Adding useful interpretation and commentary, Jansen and Perez Jimenez synthesize the
large body of surviving documents into the first unified narrative of Mixtec sacred
history."--Jacket
