Claude Arthus Bertrand | Paris 1857-1859 | 16 x 24.5 cm | 4 volumes reliés | Edition originale illustrée d'une carte des états du Mexique au temps de la conquête en 1521, par Malte-Brun (cf. Sabin 7429. Leclerc 1079. Brasseur de Bourbourg, Bibliothèque Mexico-Guatémalienne, p. 27. Numa Broc, Amérique, pp. 45-47.) Initialement gravée par Erhard Schieble, cette carte est ici en fac-similé ancien, probablement réalisé par l'éditeur pour compléter ses exemplaires. Reliures en demi chagrin havane, dos à quatre nerfs sertis de pointillés dorés et ornés de caissons et filets dorés, pièces de tomaison de chagrin orange, petits frottements sans gravité sur les dos, plats de papier caillouté, gardes et contreplats de papier peigné, reliures du XXème siècle. Mouillures affectant principalement les tomes III et IV. Cet ouvrage de base pour l'histoire du Mexique comprend les divisions suivantes : I : Temps héroïques et histoire de l'empire des Toltèques. - II : Histoire de l'Yucatan et du Guatémala; avec celle de l'Anahuac, durant le Moyen Age aztèque, jusqu'à la fondation de la royauté à Mexico. - III : Histoire des Etats du Michoacan et d'Oaxaca, et de l'empire de l'Anahuac jusqu'à l'arrivée des Espagnols.

Ruine de l'idolâtrie, déclin et abaissement de la race indigène. Ancien professeur au séminaire de Québec, puis vicaire général à Boston, l'abbé Etienne Charles Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814-1874) voyagea comme missionnaire au Mexique et en Amérique Centrale. Il s'intéressa aux civilisations disparues et fut nommé archéologue officiel de l'expédition française au Mexique en 1864. "Tour à tour archéologue, ethnologue, historien et linguiste, Brasseur de Bourbourg est, avec Désiré Charnay, un des fondateurs de l'américanisme en France au milieu du XIXe siècle" (Numa Broc). | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, illustrated with a map of the Mexican states at the time of the Conquest in 1521, by Malte-Brun (see Sabin 7429, Leclerc 1079, Brasseur de Bourbourg, Bibliothèque Mexico-Guatémalienne, p. 27, Numa Broc, Amérique, pp. 45-47). Originally engraved by Erhard Schieble, this map is presented here as an early facsimile, likely produced by the publisher to complete his copies.

A former professor at the Quebec Seminary and later Vicar General in Boston, Abbé Étienne Charles Brasseur de Bourbourg (18141874) traveled as a missionary to Mexico and Central America. He developed a keen interest in vanished civilizations and was appointed official archaeologist of the French expedition to Mexico in 1864. "By turns archaeologist, ethnologist, historian, and linguist, Brasseur de Bourbourg, alongside Désiré Charnay, was one of the founders of Americanist studies in France in the mid-nineteenth century" (Numa Broc). * 4 forts vol. in-8 ; 1) 2 ff.n.ch., XCII, 440 pp. - 2) 2 ff.n.ch., 616 pp. - 3) 2 ff.n.ch., 692 pp., 1 carte repliée h.t. - 4) 2 ff.n.ch.

    Reliure de l'éditeur. Imprimerie Impériale (1851-1870) | Paris 1869-1870 | 26.5 x 36.4 cm | 2 volume en reliures de l'éditeur | Édition originale de cet ouvrage publié « par ordre de S.M. l'Empereur et par les soins du Ministre de l'Instruction publique » (cf Leclerc (1878) 2283.) L'ouvrage est illustré, dans le premier volume, de 70 planches gravées en couleurs et hors-texte. Reliures en demi chagrin rouge, dos à quatre nerfs ornés de doubles filets et de fleurons dorés, frises dorées en têtes et en queues, quelques frottements, plats de percaline à encadrement et motif central estampés à froid, reliures de l'époque. Quelques frottements sur les plats, mouillures aux coins supérieurs affectant les 10 premiers feuillets des 2 tomes, un cahier du premier volume tendant à se dérelier,plats marginalement décolorés ou salis en leurs marges droites, deux coins légèrement émoussés. Charles Etienne Brasseur, dit Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814-1874), missionnaire français au Mexique et en Amérique centrale, est considéré comme l'un des pionniers de l'archéologie et de l'histoire précolombiennes. S'étant tout spécialement attaché à l'étude des langues locales indigènes, il annonça en 1863 avoir découvert la clé de la transcription de l'écriture maya. Il révéla ensuite, dans le présent ouvrage sur le Manuscrit Troano, ses principes de décryptage. Le tome Ier comprend l'exposé du système graphique des Mayas, pour lequel 600 caractères ont été fondus à l'Imprimerie Impériale. Vient ensuite la reproduction du Manuscrit Troano en 70 planches imprimées en lithochromie. Le tome II contient la grammaire, la chrestomathie et le vocabulaire maya-français-espagnol. Très rare. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition of this work published "by order of His Majesty the Emperor and under the supervision of the Minister of Public Instruction" (cf.

Deeply engaged in the study of indigenous languages, he announced in 1863 that he had discovered the key to transcribing the Mayan script. He later presented his principles of decipherment in the present work on the Troano Manuscript.Volume I contains an exposition of the Mayan graphic system, for which 600 characters were specially cast at the Imprimerie Impériale. It is followed by a facsimile of the Troano Manuscript reproduced in 70 lithochrome plates.

    Paris, Arthus Bertrand, 1857-1859. Royal8vo. Bound completely uncut with all the original printed wrappers in four fully contemporary full cloth bindings with gilt titles to spines. Dampstain affecting inner magin of vol. 1, Pp. 32-46. Light brownspotting throughout. Overall an excellent copy. (4), XCII, 440 pp. (4), 616 pp. (4), 692 pp. + 1 folded map." (4), VI, 851 pp. Scarce first edition of Bourbourg's famous account of the culture and the indigenous people of Central-America, one of the most important works on that area's people and language. Due to his discoveries of important texts and codes of ancient Mexico, Bourbourg was one of the pioneers of archeology and pre-Columbian history: "He studied on the spot the primitive Mexican civilizations, collected important material on the geography, antiquities, and ethnology of Mexico and Central America, edited numerous curious texts such as the Manuscrit Troano [.], and published works which, like the 'Lettres' [.] , but especially [the present work], assured him of a fine reputation as a scholar of America." (Dictionary of Canadian Biography).Several sections of the present work deal with the languages of Mexico. The work contains an introduction by Bourbourg's fellow-archaeologist, Joseph Marius Alexis Aubin, in which Aubin demonstrates how Mexican pictographs were used not only to represent objects, but also to stand for the syllables forming a word. Having spent much of his time trying to decipher the Mayan hieroglyphs, the present work, with its ingenious introduction, paved the way for Bourbourg's announcement in 1863 of his discovery of a key to the Mexican hieroglyphs. The key difference between the Mayan script and other logosyllabic Mesoamerican writing systems that allowed for its linguistically more precise decipherment was a large corpus of inscriptions and its continued use into the Colonial period. In 1862 Bourbourg discovered Bishop Diego de Landa's redacted manuscript Relación de las Cosas de Yucatan (Tozzer 1941), which contained a rudimentary Mayan "alphabet." Following this discovery and his equally important find of a section of the Madrid Codex, Bourbourg attempted a phonetic approach to glyphic decipherment. Sabin:7429.

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In two decades of traveling throughout Mexico, Central America, and Europe, French priest Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814-1874) amassed hundreds of indigenous manuscripts and printed books, including grammars and vocabularies that brought to light languages and cultures little known at the time. Although his efforts yielded many of the foundational texts of Mesoamerican studies-the pre-Columbian Codex Troana, the only known copies of the Popol Vuh and the indigenous dance drama Rabinal-Achi, and Diego De Landa's Relación de la cosas de Yucatán-Brasseur earned disdain among scholars for his theories linking Maya writings to the mythical continent of Atlantis. In The Manuscript Hunter, translator Katia Sainson reasserts his standing as the founder of modern Maya studies, presenting three of his travel writings in English for the first time.While civil wars raged throughout Mexico and Central America and foreign interests sought access to the region's rich resources, Brasseur focused on uncovering Mesoamerica's mysterious past by examining its ancient manuscripts and living oral traditions. His 'Notes from a Voyage in Central America,' 'From Guatemala City to Rabinal,' and Voyage across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec document his travels in search of these texts and traditions. Brasseur's writings weave vivid geographical descriptions of Central America and Mexico during the mid-1800s with keen social and political analysis, all steeped in vast knowledge of the region's history and interest in its indigenous cultures.Coupled with Sainson's thoughtful introduction and annotations, these captivating, accessible accounts reveal Brasseur de Bourbourg's true accomplishments and offer an unrivaled view of the birth of Mesoamerican studies in the nineteenth century. Brasseur's writings not only depict Central America and Mexico through the eyes of a European traveler at a key moment, but also illuminate the remarkable efforts of one man to understand and preserve Mesoamerica's cultural traditions for all time.
